A member asked:
What to do if i got doxycycline for acne, but will it also help me in other ways?

Not really: It will protect you in case you are infected with a new case of Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, or typhus. Beyond this it will probably have little effect.

Doxycycline: No. This will not help in other ways unless you have an infection for which it is effective.
