Tell us about your personal experience with Doxycycline as a treatment: Has it worked? Have you had any issues? Any recommendations or tips?
I've been on Doxycycline (combined with Klaron topical) for about 2 years and it has helped a lot. No side effects, my dermo tells me about 3-5% of people become sensitive to sunlight while on it. Typical dose is 100 mg/day I need 200 mg to really control it. Like topicals, it take a month or two to build up a concentration in the skin, but I started noticing improvement after about 2 weeks. My dermo tells me it is the "tried and true" as far as oral antibiotics go.
