Is doxycycline available in topical form for acne where you can apply directly to skin?

It is...: not available in topical form. Also, I would stay away from putting the powder in my face because it may irritate the skin and cause blemishes amongst other side effects.

Very soon: Not too keen on top doxy, would rather use combination of clindamycin/ benzoyl peroxide, which is already available by Rx. Advise to see dermatologist for further assistance

Acne: If you're troubled by significant acne problems, I recommend that you be evaluated and treated by a dermatologist to get the best results.

Doxycycline: Here is a list of topical acne medications .Doxycycline is used in low dose orally for acne but not topically. Clindamycin and erythromycin are the most common topical agents ( if not allergic) . https://www.drugs.com/drug-class/topical-acne-agents.html
