Can doxycycline make the skin worse before making it better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What for?: Not knowing why you are taking the drug, i cannot say. If for acne, switching to another drug will help, periodically. One side effect of doxycycline: can cause a photsensitivity for some in the summer because of uv. Otherwise ask again, specifying why you are taking it!
