I'm taking 200 mg of doxycycline a day for my mild inflammatory acne, and I tried lose dose accutane before that, but it failed. Are doxycycline, minocycline, and tetracycline very effective in teating mild to severe acne? I hope this works, because I've run out of options.

Answer:
I noticed very tiny change after starting tetracycline. I used it for about 3 months, then gave up.

I wouldn’t recommend it.

All in all, it was a waste of money, stained my teeth (a common side-effect of long-term antibiotics), and made my acne harder to treat because it built up a resistance to antibiotics. From what I have heard (And semi-experienced - even though I have never tried accutane), the only oral medication that really consistently works is regular to high dosage Accutane, otherwise just stick with topical stuff.

Good luck!

Answer:
Go to Walmart and buy some sulfer. It's a yellow powder. Mix it with some type of moisturizer and pat it on the acne. I promise it will work…just DON'T get this in your eyes it burns really bad!
