"i had to take doxy when i went to laos to prevent malaria. when my doctor was prescribing my medication, he noticed that i had pretty bad acne and he mentioned that doxy helps to clear it up. i have had no side effect over the 13 or 14 days that i&#039;ve been using it, and when i got back from laos, my skin was honestly so much better. i actually expected it to be worse due to the sanitation levels there, but it&#039;s smooth, its less red, the pimples are leaving my face, and honestly it has been a godsent for me. the only problem would be how to get more and if i should stop, because i don&#039;t have a dermatologist and i don&#039;t really want to continue on antibiotics for a long time."
