Acne Vulgaris
I am having severe acne problem(face and back as well). Only at the time of having Doxycycline, the pimples are quite less but again the same as I stop having the medicine. After the pimple is gone,red marks remain for long.
How long is the Doxycycline required to continued at a stretch?
