Treatment depends upon the grade...Acne or pimples... Due to hormonal changes..Oily skin causes it...Common in adolescent age...May occur in adults also.. Food like Oily foods, ice cream, chocolate and sweets increase it.. Treatment depends on the grade of pimples or acne..So, please send photos by direct online consultation as it's a must to see which grade of pimples or acne for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Heya! Doxycycline and minocycline belong to same group of drugs. They also have similar mechanism of action.
However, as per the preference of your treating doctor you can decide further the drug and it's dosage and frequency. You can go for other higher treatments depending on the duration and grade of acne. Take care!
