I had servere acne, was on accutane for 6 month 20mg/day, it cleared up, acne returned after food poisoning. but this time it was mild. i visited derm, prescribed retinol & doxy for 2mns, i stopped doxy after 1, acne still there, what should i do?

You should get in touch with your dermatologist to ask what you should do next since that doctor knows you best. It is unclear why you stopped the doxy after 1 month-were you having a side effect? So, call your dermatologist for advice. You may need to be seen again for a re-assessment of your acne. Good luck!
