Doxycycline (100MG) for Acne / spots

I started using Doxycycline for 3 months for acne on my face, chest and back in February. The acne was very annoying and I always had to wear closed shirts. The first few days I took the medicine without food, but it quickly changed to eating with food because I vomited. If I ate something first, it went much better and I actually had little trouble. My acne slowly became less but never complet...

Doxycycline (100mg) for acne / spots

At 32 years old, my dermatologist prescribed me Doxycicline because I had a huge pimple on my face. While taking the medication, I had no more pimples. The day I stopped, my face covered with a huge plate of buttons with a white tip. The plaque was increasingly covering my face from hour to hour, I didn't know what to do to stop it. I had to stop eating all the foods that contain sugar to stop ...

Doxycycline (20mg/ml) for acne / spots

Two months ago I started taking doxycycline for acne. I noticed a difference after just one and a half weeks and once my treatment had finished (6 weeks), my skin was perfectly smooth all over. Unfortunately it's come back again and I felt so red that I called my dermatologist to see if I could bring my appointment forward. I've just started taking a 6-month course of Isotretinoin (Roaccutane) ...

Doxycycline (100mg) for pneumonia

Got this medicine because of an ongoing cough. The thorax image was great but I couldn't shake the cough. So then I tried these pills. I had already had them quite often before for bronchitis. Now, these pills give me terrible stomach ache. So I use a gastric protector as well. Which helps. When I used them before I also had really bad stomach cramps and diarrhoea. This time I took a probiotic ...

Doxycycline (100mg) for tick bite

prescribed this to prevent Lyme's disease after being bitten by a tick, three-week course of doxycycline, wet, red, itchy eczema on my arms and eyes. After a definitive improvement the eczema came back. Very dissatisfied with this medicine.

Doxycycline (100mg) for bacterial infection

Folliculitis looks like acne on your scalp, but it's usually caused in older people by a bacterium. I used this medicine for one month in place of Minocycline, which is also moderately effective but for me perhaps slightly more effective. Unfortunately I've had this for 8 years now and it shows no sign of disappearing...!

Doxycycline (100mg) for pharyngitis

after a couple of days I started getting bumps on my shoulders and chest. they were blisters that were really itchy and burned. menthol gel helped to cool them down, particularly at night. asarone cream also helped with the itching and dried them out. Few on my upper legs and back. now really bad on both my arms (5 days after the course has finished!). on top of this, really bad wind and very l...
