A member asked:
Will my acne get worse after i go off doryx (doxycycline)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: Not only does the Doxycycline suppress the bacteria that cause acne, it exhibits an modest antiinflammatory effect. Coming off of it may lead to an acne flare, but that is not guaranteed.
