No and it made mine worse.  Had to go back to the dermatologist and get on antibiotics again.  I stopped the BC pills and the antibiotics cleared my skin right up.

I want to caution you about taking antibiotics for acne. Antibiotics cause lots of problems, using them for acne and not a serious infection, is not a good idea. I suggest you research this further.

The dermatologists can help get rid of the acne. But the problem could reoccur since it comes due to hormones among other factors. Time is the best cure but you can prevent by some good sking creams (consult dermatologists).\n\nRead more about Acne here:\nhttp://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acne

Go to your doctor, they're the only ones that can give you stuff that works.\n\nZineryt works REALLY well for me.\n\nIf that doesn't work, its the antibiotics, then on to roaccutane. If you're a girl, the pill, in particular dianette is good for acne, though it doesn't stop mine completely on its own.\n\nAs for over the counter stuff, its a load of crap if you have proper acne  (I'm not talking a coupla pimples every month here)

It don't work it makes it worse because it just clogs up the acne acne is made of dirt and oils built up in your skin so it just adjates it. Or so my dermetoligist says ask yours though!

Benzyl Peroxide is a powerful oxidizing agent and can cause irritation  In patients with sensitive skin start with 2.5 % and increase  the strength as the patient tolerates it.   if he does no respond  start topical antibiotic.  In severe acne where there is scarring is imminent treatment of choice is  Systemic retinoid isotretinoin.  It reduces sebum excretion, clears follicular  hyper keratinization  and reduces  inflammation.     Isotretinoin is teratogenic and contraceptive advice should be given to women of child bearing age.  It causes chelitis and temporary blood lipid elevation. Topical retinoids  can photosenssitize and must not applied  before sun exposure.

It works pretty well.  I use it - it's good for clearing up whatever breakouts you might be having, but unless you use another medicine with it, like Differin or Retin-A, the acne will keep coming back.

Don't use clearesil it is not a good product. If you go to a dermatoligist they will tell you that. It strips the body of its protective skin layer which protects us from things like bacteria. So really when you first use clearisil you will see improvement and then it will all go bad and your skin will get worse. If you really want to get rid of your acne use a brand called Murad it has a whole range of products from sensitive skin to acne skin. Also you should book an appointment with a dermatoligist. And you should request treatments like stevia, gycolic acid, microdermabresion and etc.

Use moisturizing creams instead. Try Clean&Clear moisturizing cream or Simple moisturizing cream for the face & neck. Don't use OXY cream for Acne as it too dries my (normal, not dry) skin. Also try Mandom - Acne care facial scrub. It's affordable although it takes a pretty long time to work..

Doxycycline is a wonderfully useful broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic. Since you got it from your dermatologist, I would assume that you have an acne or other skin problem. All tetracycline drugs accumulate in skin and bone tissues, so they are very beneficial and useful for infections of those regions.\n\nIt is safe to use and works great. If you are a female, however, make certain that you are not pregnant. Pregnancy would be a major contraindication for using any member of this drug family.\n\nFor additional information, you can go to WebMD.

We have been fooled, tricked, deceived, and just plain lied to. It's time that someone put a stop to it, and everyone learn the truth!\n\nThose of us who suffer from acne has usually been given 2 choices and neither of them work:\n\n1. Over the counter remedies such as cleansers, creams, ointments, etc. These things have been proven over and over again not to work.   Why?  It does not address the root cause of the problem.\n\n2. Go see a doctor and or dermatologist. They will generally prescribe prescription drugs which include topicals and or antibiotics. This, too, has been proven over and over again not to work. Why?  It does not address the root cause of the problem.\n\nI found a step-by-step program that cured my acne and it has never come back.  It is amazing and doesn’t use any drugs.  The truth is that acne can be cured…if we know the secret the doctors and drug companies don’t want us to know.\nThere is a great website:  http://cure-my-acne.info/3daycure  that has all the details.  I really suggest you check it out and see if it works as well for you as it did for me.

Try the Clear Skin Regimen by Acne.org, I set a goal of three months for myself last April and stuck with it, after a month my skin was completely clear, and since I set a goal farther away it was easier to achieve, as I didn't have my hopes up for a quick fix

Hi,\nSolutions for acne that is resistant to treatment:\n\nInvestigate compliance\nIncrease frequency of topical treatment\nBegin or increase oral antibiotic dosage\nSearch for hormonal derangement\nBegin oral isotretinoin therapy\n\nOral treatment:\n\nAcne that is resistant to topical treatment requires oral antibiotics. Many of the antibiotics useful in acne also have an anti-inflammatory activity, which is nearly as important as their effect on the P acnes itself. Oral erythromycin used to be a common treatment for acne, but the rise of resistance has greatly reduced its utility. It is necessary to begin the treatment with doxycycline or minocylcine. Acquired resistance to minocycline and doxycycline is less common than to erythromycin but is still a concern, and use of these drugs should be limited to those patients who truly need them. Patients are instructed to take the drug with food this minimises stomach complaints and maximises compliance. If minocycline or doxycycline cannot be used, alternatives include co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin. Risk of acquiring resistance to these drugs after long-term use has not been studied, but the use of these drugs should be minimised. In general, cephalosporins and penicillins are not very effective in treating acne. The increased cost of some of these newer drugs may make using isotretinoin an attractive option in the long-term treatment.\n\nHormonal treatment:\n\nIt is wrong to assume that any woman with acne have a hormonal derangement. In fact, androgen levels do not correlate with acne severity among people with acne. Acne resistant to treatment, especially in a woman with irregular menses, should be investigated. Measurements of total and free testosterone as well as dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate. If these levels are raised, four approaches may be taken: suppression with low dose oral corticosteroid, oral contraception, cyproterone acetate or spironolactone.\n\nIsotretinoin revolutionised the treatment of severe acne. It is used in case of severe nodular acne, but it is commonly used for severe acne that is resistant to oral antibiotics as well. Patients should be monitored routinely. \n\nFeel Freeto contact\n\nDr.Mojo
