How long did it take for your acne to clear up with doxycycline?!
Question: How long did it take for your acne to clear up with doxycycline.?
I am wondering because my dermatologist prescribed me 100mg of doxycycline and I have heard that you must take it for months before seeing any kind of results. I am also a bit concerned since this is an antibiotic that in this time frame will likely kill more probiotic bacteria than the bacterias that cause acne, assuming it even kills them all. So I guess I just need reassurance. I am sure at least one of you out there has taken doxycycline. Please tell me the severity of your acne, how long it took it to clear up (e.g, how long did you take the antibiotics), and whether or not your acne EVER reappeared after you finished the course of antibiotics. Thanks.Health Question & Answer

2 or 3 months. He kept me on it for about a year though because once I stopped it my acne came back. There are better methods than antibiotics which can cause indigestion and reflux problems as well as the issues you mentioned. Doxycycline also causes esophogeal (spelling.?) problems. I went to the doctor with stomach problems and the first thing she asked me was if I had taken the antibiotic and that it causes all kinds of problems if not taken with enough water. (and I thought I was!) I spent the next 3 months taking probiotics, changing my diet, etc.
I've had moderate and severe acne for 11 years and the only thing that helped clear it up (gentler than antibiotics) is Carley's Clear and Smooth. And I've tried it all short of Accutane. I have to keep using the face wash though but my acne has gotten much better. I also cut out milk and gluten products as much as possible and notice a difference from the lack of milk in my diet. Give it a try before the antibiotics-it's cheaper and safer on your body. Here are two websites:
