"this drug really did wonders on my skin. i know everyone&#039;s skin type is different, but i used to have horrible cystic acne all over my face when i was 14 (literally no place on my face was clear). i decided to go to my primary care doctor and she prescribed me with 100 mg of minocycline twice a day for however long i needed it and a benzoyl peroxide cream. after a few weeks i saw immediate results to my skin. eventually it got pretty cleared up with a few breakouts every once in a while. i had stopped taking it regularly by sophmore year of high school. it didn&#039;t break me out immediately, but it slowly came back all at once and now i&#039;m being put on doxycycline. if you take a oral med make sure you stick with it!!!"
