Comparing Doxycycline vs Soolantra

For Acne I went on Doxycycline about 7 months ago, after having mild to moderate acne that was persistent. I tried everything from topical treatments to every face wash out there, to drug store blemish topical treatments, to birth control, to eating healthfully and cutting out gluten and dairy. At first, Doxycycline initially made me break out worse than before but after a month my skin was spotless. It remained 100% clear and I thought I had found my "miracle fix."Sadly, last month I went off of the drug and my face broke out worse than it ever has before. After some research, I found out it was because antibiotics kill both the good and the bad bacteria in our gut, and we need good bacteria in order to have a healthy digestive tract. I have started taking a Probiotic in hopes it will replenish the good bacteria in my intestine. If you are taking Doxy, YOU MUST BE TAKING A PROBIOTIC AT THE SAME TIME! I am shocked doctors don't have to prescribe it along with the prescription.I hope this helps!

For Acne I am a 18 year old girl who has been taking this tablet once a day for three weeks and my skin has become noticeably worse. I originally started taking the drug due to mild spots/acne on my face and mild spots on my back and chest. Last week I noticed I had developed rash-like blemishes on my neck. I am unsure whether they are small red spots or whether it is a rash but this is definitely a side effect of the drug. During the first week, my skin improved significantly and it became a lot smoother, along with the pimples on my back which began to reduce in size. This week I have developed sore, whiteheads/papules on my face - around 4 nasty ones. I'm worried that my skin will only become worse so I’m going to give it two more weeks and see how it goes. No other side effects so far and I’m hoping this is a ‘gets worse before it gets better’ situation :/

For Rosacea Wow... Doc prescribed this at night, and Mirversa in the morning, along with a sulfur face wash for my rosacea. Mirversa is going in the trash. Soolantra does the trick! My face feels so soft, and cooler with this ointment!

For Rosacea I have been suffering with severe rosacea for about 8 months now. I have used Soolantra cream in the past and it had cleared up my skin beautifully! I had a bad breakout mainly on my forehead about a week ago, and I can honestly say Soolantra has gotten rid of about 80% of the little burning papules/pustules! I do still have quite a few spots, and sometimes I do still get the burning sensation, however it is nothing like it was a week ago where I was in so much pain I couldn't even leave the house! I look and feel much better. Good luck to anybody else trying this medication, I hope it helps you like it has with me and many others out there
