A member asked:

I have been on doxycycline and finacea (rosacea bumps) for 2 and a half weeks. when can i expect to see results?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably acne: If it is acne rather than rosacea, response to Doxycycline for adult females is poor, only 10% respond. When they do respond it is in 2-3 months. Response with rosacea is rapid: 1-2 weeks of 50mg a day. You may find that the most effective remedy for you is spironolactone, probably 100mg a day. At your age acne is much more common than rosacea. See a dermatologist.
