A member asked:
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
