A member asked:
Minocycline has made my face, hands and my overall complexion dark and left me with acne on my side worst than it was before i went on. what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minocycline: Minocycline can cause hyperpigmentatation of the skin. Acne can also get worse before it gets better. However, because of the hyperpigmentation I would strongly suggest that you return to your doctor or dermatologist for a different antibiotic usage
