Minocycline worked wonders for rosacea. it stopped working after 8months.switched to doxy 2 months ago- useless. can i go back to mino?

Yes: Minocycline and Doxycycline are similar antibiotics which help rosacea thru a poorly understood mechanism. You may need to try a topical drug such as Metrogel or Finacea to help with acute flareups of your rosacea.
