A member asked:
Hi,what is the period and dosage of consuming of doxycycline for skin infection and acne ? thanks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acne treatment: The usual dose was 100 mg once daily, but now only 20 mg twice daily is usually considered OK. It often takes several weeks for imporovement to be apparent. Beware of photosensitivity, i.e. sunburn with only slight sun exposure, especially in sunny climates like yours. Such treatment must be under a doctor's care; follow her advice on the details.
