A member asked:
If i took minocycline before and it didnt break me out, will doxycycline break me out before seeing good results?

No: For adult women with acne, only 10% respond to an antibiotic (doxycycline). Your acne will probably be a matter of hormones. Birth control may be a factor. Some birth control makes acne worse, some make it better.Spironolactone is usually the most effective acne therapy for adult women.
