A member asked:
Is taking prednisone and doxycycline together a good approach for inflamed acne?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne vulgaris: Oral prednisone is going a bit too far a bit too soon. Doxycycline or Minocycline is excellent for acne. Clindamycin topicals are also excellent. Zenatane is good but requires a physician's monitoring.
