"i was recommended minocycline by a family docter. my acne was really bad at the time and i didn&#039;t want to wait a month to see my dermatologist because i wanted results right away since i had a upcoming school dance. i started taking minocycline around march 8th and took 100mg once a day. for the first five days my acne seemed to improve a bit and i wasn&#039;t getting any new breakouts. around a week of using it my skin seemed to be getting a lot worse. before taking minocycline my breakouts were always on my forehead and just a tiny bit on my cheekbone area, but i had never really had acne on my chin or mouth area. on mino, i got huge painful zits on my chin and mouth area, it hurt so much just to open my mouth. my acne has never been worse."
