A member asked:
Is it true that you can become resistant to doxycycline and than acne will come back worse than you started with?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's unlikely: since the Doxycycline is NOT BEING USED as an ANTIBIOTIC rather a non-specific ant-acne effect!! It IS true however that resistant organisms might develop and cauuse trouble elsewhere THUS it's a good idea to talk with your DErMATOLOGIST about alternative/complimentary methods to treat your acne! Hope this helps Dr Z
