Answer #1

im taking minocycline 100mg/day I took it for about 3 months.. then stopped simply cause I kept forgetting to take them but my acne didnt get worse. and my face didnt get clear either so its basically the same as before I started the pills.

Answer #2

well I just go off using accutane(tho its also called amensteen) after 6 months and I had baaad acne. it worked wonders though. before I couldnt even touch my face without feeling extreme pain but now I can slap it and not hurt much ya know? for now it seems to be going away well, and from what I read it is like a permanent “cure” so lets hope for the best. I think I took what your taking before I got accutane though, and yeh it worked for a while but then it did come back worse and for that reason im guessing I got immune to it. so next visit with your dermatologist, I’d recommend asking about accutane.
