Dr. Anthony Nikko answered

Specializes in Plastic Surgery

Acne treatment: If you concluded the proper course of Accutane recommended by your dermatologist, you shouldn't need Minocycline to treat cystic acne. However, if you're transitioning from one medication to another, follow up with your prescribing physician to ensure proper care and dosage based on your diagnosis and medical history.
