Minocycline for acne


Recently my doctor prescribed me minocycline for acne. Does this medication work?

First, dump your doctor-he/she probably is too stupid to read the current literature. There is ZERO evidence that minocycline works for acne. It definitely is not a first line medication for acne. In addition, evidence now indicates that you are more likely to develop a lupus like syndrome from this medication.  So my advice to you is dump this bum MD, see a bona fide skin doctor and ask for a retinoid.
