"i was advised by my gp to take this medicine for my acne. although my acne is not extremely severe, usally consisting of 3-4 spots a a month, i asked my doctor what she would recommend after trying a bunch of otc skincare products. she suggested minocycline, as i had previously been on it to fight an infection i had when i was still very young and had a very low chance of allergic reactions. the first week and a half was alright, and i had noticed that my skin had been getting less red and that the acne on my face was improving as well. around the second week, i started to notice that i had welts forming on my body and i was constantly itching. my gp told me that i had grown to be allergic to the medicine and was taken off it."
