I was prescribed on doxycycline 1a day. but when the doctor asked me if the acne is only on my face i lied ; the truth is i also have it on my body ?

OK: It turns out in this instance it makes no difference, but in general a doctor assumes that you're not lying to him. If you feel you can't open up and talk freely with your doc about medical issues you should start seeking out someone who you feel more comfortable with. Openness with your physician is key to great medical care.
