Can minocin make acne worse ? what's the process(i took minocycline for 3 months, not impressed by the results, even got acne where i never had before

Not effective 4 you: Minocycline is a commonly used oral medication for acne and it is quite good, but does not work for everyone. It should not make the acne worse. However, your acne may have just progressed/worsened on its own and Minocycline was not effective and so may seem like it made things worse. I would consult doc gain for other option as there are quite a few. Good luck.
