Hello, recently, about 2 months ago, i started having pretty bad breakouts and whatever i've done doesn't seem to help . i was prescribed mini cycline but after getting of it, my acne breakout got worse.

Yes..: You may need to stay on the minocycline chronically ( on adaily basis) to prevent the outbreaks. Some people need to do this for several months to years and then are able to stop it altogether
