@@honeybadgernasty fungal acne tends to come in cluster rather than in individual pimples. I had small bumps all over my forehead and jaw area. The bumps tend to look the same and are uniform in shape and size. They tend to occur in the most oily and sweaty area of face or body. It is commonly seen on your t zone, chest, back, etc.

Took Minocycline for about 2 weeks and I started getting really itchy and was scratching everywhere. I thought I had bed bugs lol. Then they switched me to doxycycline and didn’t have any side effects and cleared my acne in 3 weeks. Life changing. I had never been on antibiotics for acne before.
Just the comment I was looking for haha. I took my first pill of minocycline & 5 hours later I was super itchy everywhere. I wonder if this means that we have to report a minocycline allergy from now on 🤔
Really? I started taking Minocyline two times a day for a bit over a week now and I’m doing so much better, a lot less acne a lot, no more cysts or acne under skin and skin is no longer oily. I guess it’s different for everybody
@@kokimutavi I use it every single night along with Krave’s Great Barrier Relief serum and a heavy, occlusive moisturizer. In the a.m., I use the CeraVe hydrating cleanser, paula’s choice BHA, and insane amounts of sunscreen. I’ve stopped wearing face makeup completely, which I think has also made a difference! Good luck!
Be very careful when using this. Especially follow her advice on not taking it for more than 4 months and using Benzoyl Peroxide along with it. My dermatologist had me taking oral tetracycline, doxycycline, and minocycline + topical clindamycin every single day for 10+ years. And now I just tested positive for 2 different types of gram-negative folliculitis - which basically means that I developed drug-resistant super bugs that I probably have to deal with for the rest of my life.
I was put on Minocycline HCL taking two 100 mg tablets twice a day at 12 hour intervals. The first two weeks were absolutely fine, it was going into week three that i began to develop fullness and sound sensitivity combined with tinnitus in my left ear, and then pulsaitive tinnitus in my right ear. This combined with pressure in the head and blurry vision. I called my Doctor and stopped taking it immediately. I then read up and discovered another side efffect that is not mentioned by many doctors and dermatologists, a condition called Intercranial Hypertension. I was so angry that none of these side effects were ever discussed with me. I was only warned about nausea and dizziness. Be very careful about minocycline, in fact from my experience I would stay away from it entirely. And any doctor who isn't going to fully explain ALL of the possible side effects , is not doing their job.
OMG, you read my mind Dr. Dray. I was just prescribed doxycycline 100 twice a day yesterday along with tretinoin. I was kinda hesitating to take it and started taking one pill once per day. Now, after watching your video I feel more confident just hope it works due to I have several big painful pimples on my chin. I usually get them every 2 or 3 weeks.
Yessss we’re on the journey together 👯♀️😌 ugh this acne got me fucked up not to be dramatic but this acne is making me wanna die hopefully this helps how is your journey???

I used both of these as a teenager about 6 years ago. They worked for a while then I grew immunity to it, then switched to doxycycline and same thing worked for a while then stopped working.

If antibiotics are a temporary help to acne then what is the point of taking them? Do the results last after you stop taking them? Is it to just help give you some relief for the time being?
@@noahcedillo7943 not necessarily, for some people any positive effects stop right after stopping, for some people it doesn’t work at all. It also can’t kill all the bacteria on your face because of many factors like antibiotic resistance, systemic absorption, bacteria in the environment and genetics.

If it killed all the bacteria on the face it would work for many more people than it does now.
@@marineha6152 Just the comments I was looking for haha. I took my first pill of minocycline & 5 hours later I was super itchy everywhere. I wonder if this means that we have to report a minocycline allergy from now on 🤔
Minocycline made me super nauseous and fatigue but it did help with my acne for a while. Eventually my acne came back after stopping this medication. I wouldn't get on it again.
I was on minocycline and doxy in high school to try to combat my cystic acne, and it never really helped. Couldn’t be in the sun for 20 minutes, even cool days, on Doxy without blistering sunburns, then went to mino. Minocycline made me losing weight almost impossible. I have only lost weight since, with much less activity after i stopped taking them. I was the most physical i have ever been while on minocyline my sophomore and to the end of my junior year, and still gained massive amounts of weight. This is the only prescription besides ibuprofen and miralax i ever took then, I don’t like taking meds if i can help it. So nothing but these acne’s meds were in my system, so this isn’t just justifying situations. How tf could I have lost over 100 pounds, 290+ to 165 now, without any exercise, and with worse eating habits? Fast forward a couple years later when I got my wisdom teeth pulled out. The dentist specifically asked me if I had taken an oral acne medication. When I said minocycline and doxycycline, he said yup the minocycline would do it. These antibiotics specifically rot your teeth from under your gumline. When they pulled out them, there was a 2 mm black line. So its damn terrifying that i was never once told that this was a possible side effect. Nor the inability to lose weight, like it flat out stopped my metabolism, then it kickstarted a couple months after fullly quitting. Toooooo many coinciding issues, without other possible chemicals present.
One thing I respect Dr. Dray is that she is unique & doing her own thing. Unlike many skincare youtubers always try to get on another youtuber’s coattails.
I suffered from acne from 12 years old. I am now 59!! Until my early 40s, my life was a nightmare. The only treatment I didn’t try was accutane as I was of child bearing years. Then 15 years ago a dermatologist prescribed minocycline. I had previously been on tetracycline but it had done nothing. Minocycline was truly a miracle for me and I continued on it all these years, taking a pill every second day. Then about six months ago antibiotic resistance kicked in and I am breaking out again at this ridiculous old age. I am debating trying the heavy dosing of B5 as accutane still concerns me.🤦🏻♀️
I just got prescribed Minocycline for my acne, today. I discovered antibiotics were going to help my acne after I was prescribed a different antibiotic for a UTI last week and surprisingly, the antibiotics for my UTI started to clear up my acne within 2 days. I'm excited to see how Minocycline works for me. I can't take the combined oral contraceptive pill for my acne because of health contraindications, it's too risky, so that's why I'm trying antibiotics.
@@fatimaali-qz4jo long story short, I ended up having to get of Minocycline after a few weeks because of the side effects and also having kidney stones that my doctor believed may have been caused by the UTI i had, so, I can't really say whether the Minocycline worked because I wasn't on it long enough. I ended up switching to a lower dose of the antibiotic I had to treat my UTI- I believe it's called Trimethoprim. I was on a half dose of Trimethoprim for 4 months and it cleared my acne completely. I've had to get of it a couple of weeks ago because my urologist who is now monitoring my kidney stones, said it wasn't healthy for me to be on antibiotics for that long because of the increased risk of bacterial resistance and I'd only had the one UTI. So far, my skin has remained clear since coming of Trimethoprim. Trimethoprim is not usually used to treat acne, but it was a good side effect of the medication that it cleared my acne.
Long story short, the Minocycline didn't work out because I had to switch to another antibiotic to treat something else a few weeks after I was prescribed it. I also had some stomach issues when on Minocycline.
Thank you for making these videos! 💜 My derm had prescribed 20mg daily of doxy and said there is no risk of bacterial resistance at that low dosage (since at that dosage it'smeant to be anti-inflammatory rather than antibacterial), but others have disagreed with this... so I stopped taking it after 6 months. Would be very curious to know your thoughts! 😊
Thank you for this. I watched this video to see if itchy skin was a side as at night I feel like things are crawling over me but there is nothing there and it’s only started while on this.
Doxy worked for me for the first 2 months before my cystic acne came back again, my doctor has just changed me to minocycline instead, praying this works :(
Hello Dr Dray! Can you make a video on how skin is affected and treatment if you have autoimmune disorders? Like lupus, etc. It'll be of great help. Thank you.
Hello. Happy Friday. Last year I was on Minocycline for 5 months. My dermo said it was a harmonal breakout . I never had anything like this. The breakout was all over my face and upper chest and there were pustuales. I took the antibiotic and another topical and it cleared up well, but leaving a little bit of redness and I feel scarring.. to me it seemed like a rosacea and I still feel like once in awhile I get a small bump here and there. At 59 I really didn't think I would have be going through this with my skin but as of today it is much better. sometimes I wonder if it's just from stress, but I did have vertigo and really bad headaches for a while when on the medication. And I didn't like being outside in the sun.
Could you make a video addressing men’s beards or stubble and the skin underneath? Like if it’s okay to just apply our moisturizer and other products directly to beard stubble to get it on skin underneath. Thank you!
But if acne comes back if you get off the antibiotic and you’re still using every topical in the book, what other options are there (besides isotretinoin)? If you stay on the antibiotic indefinitely, besides potentially harming gut flora, are there any other things to keep in mind? What other solutions are there? I’d rather have some gut issues than inflammatory acne because my self-esteem completely drops when I get pimples.
Oral minocycline stains teeth on some people. I’m talking about brown staining. My hygienist got it all off of the back of my lower teeth thank God. I will never take that again!!
@@yeseniacastillo4587 The first time I was on it for a year, but I’m not sure when I noticed it during that time. The second time I was on it for only a month. Which validated where the staining was coming from. This was two years apart.
I was prescribed minocycline when I was a teenager (14-15 ish), by my primary care doctor and never told to limit the use to 3-4 months, and I ended up being on it for over a year. The following year I had come off the pills but I was left with so many side effects. Constant and chronic heartburn that would lead to vomiting and nausea every day. I had many visits to the doctor, urgent care and the hospital including an endoscopy. Nobody could tell me why my body was acting the way it was. This went on for another year. Looking back it must have been from the prolonged use of medication, right? Now that I am more educated I can’t believe that was never mentioned, they never ended up figuring it out either. :/
I was on minocycline in high school to try to combat my cystic acne, a couple years later when I got my wisdom teeth pulled out. The dentist specifically asked me if I had taken an oral acne medication. When I said minocycline and doxycycline, he said yup the minocycline would do it. This antibiotic rots your teeth from under your gumline. When they pulled out them, there was a 2 mm black line.

@@ashlynlarsen but its not visible to others right? only to the dentist and you know it when the tooth was taken out? i would rather have that than acne then
@@madsterg I had acne while on meds……. But would burn in 15-20 minutes in sunlight. Now one 21 still have acne…. More scars My problem is, is that not a single practitioner in the three years of me using it said to me that it shouldn’t be used long-term. They had my records. That should be malpractice.
I was prescribed minocycline last year in combination with adapalene, used it for about 7 months it cleared up my skin really well, but when I stopped my acne came back worse and the antibiotics ruined my gut health. My doctor wasn’t very clear on how long I was supposed to be on it and didn’t tell me the risks mentioned in this video. Now I’m using tretinoin cream.
So happy when I can watch your videos not long after I finish work in the UK. I find your videos entertaining 😃🎉 and relaxing and enjoy your specialist knowledge. Thanks Dr Dray and wish you a lovely weekend 🇬🇧🤩❤️
I started taking minocycline twice a day and it gave me an intense heart beat and made me extremely light headed and short breathed. I still don’t know how that happened tbh.
I had the same thing happen to me back in my 20's with Minocycline. Thankfully the symptoms disappeared soon after I stopped taking it. It really did clear up my acne though!
man, oral tetracycline and then minocycline for my cystic back acne did a number on my body in high school :( just anecdotally, my gut really suffered for a solid period of time afterwards.
Could you please make a video on sustainable clothing and regular clothing. Is it really bad for your skin to wear regular clothing does certain fabrics really cause negatives in the skin?...etc etc
@@asheramcauley2959 Usually with acne meds, purging happens So I would say yes, momentarily that’s probably what I’m experiencing I’m on my 4th week today
just started taking minocycline a few days ago and it is pushing out all the backteria in the pimples, and making all my pimples white that werent even close to being ready to pop a few days ago. been getting a tiny bit dizzy for like half a second but othre than that feel great . also thanks for your help i understand it alot more now
Minocyclone was the only thing that cleared up my moderate nodular acne! I wish it could be used as a regular treatment because nothing else has worked for me as well :/
Hi Dr! I’ve noticed that my face is significantly darker than my body, even though I apply enough sunscreen 3 times a day. I currently use non tinted sunscreens, but would a tinted sunscreen reduce pigmentation cause by visible or blue light?
Have you had any experience of prescribing erythromycin for acne? My dermatologist prescribed me this for my back acne and after doing my own research, it seems that this kind of anti-biotic is not that widely prescribed for acne. I was on minocycline for my face acne a couple years back, but had to stop because i got an allergic reaction from it so that’s why She suggested erythromycin instead. This was a super helpful video!!
Wow perfecttiming , i was just prescribed minocycline today to help with my moderate acne !!! Dr Dray could you please recommend a product with kojic acid that does not contain vitamin C and glycolic acid ? Thank you 🤗😘
The only side effect I have heard about Amzeeq is that your skin can turn slightly orange if you use too much. It would be interesting to hear from you about how your experience with this product.
Hi, I'm prescribed with Minocycline 100 mg for 3 days for acne. I have a recent history of vaginal yeast infection. For that I took Flucanazole hard capsule and it's gone fully and no symptoms. Now I'm worried about, if I take Minocycline can yeast infection come back?? please reply!!!
hello everyone, a year ago my doctor gave me minocycline. I didn't suffer much from acne anymore, but I still had some residue on chest and back. So the doctor decided to give a course of minocycline. however after 3 months, the acne broke out so bad, on my face, chest, back, scalp. Does anyone know what happened?
Thank you for your videos Dr. Dray. Can you educate us about phenoxyethanol? I recently read that its very harmful especially for infant yet most shampoos and wet wipes contain that ingredient. Thank you
It's honestly just a preservative capped at 1% and unless ur allergic to it (which is rare) idk where you heard the news abt it being harmful. It's probably just the same boat as parabens
I got really horrible mask-ne, from having one mask and needing to go out every day for about 2 months straight, and having expired skincare products. Bought more masks, got new skincare, but my mom insisted I still go to the doctor. The acne was so bad, every time I saw, well, anyone they said, "ouch, that looks painful," and it was! So now I'm on a combo of minocycline and clindamycin, doctor said clindamycin will be used for 3 months, the minocycline will be used for 40 days. So far, 20 days in, acne is looking better, not gone but redness and pain is very much reduced... but now I'm getting more forehead acne lol.
@@jemanddegall9567 Nah I had an allergic reaction. I was itchy all over consistently and would get dizzy after taking the pill portion. All the while acne was only marginally improved (and as mentioned I had gotten new masks and skincare, so I attribute the improvement more to those than the medicine).
I was on this for only 2 weeks and of course I got a yeast infection.. I am sensitive to getting them, would you have any other recommendations to try?
Could you please talk about topical Minoclycline (aka Amzeeq topical foam)? My dermatologist put me on it for perioral dermatitis after Doxy stopped working for me. Would love yo hear your opinion on this topical foam medication for the treatment of PD. Thanks so much!
I was on minocycline for 6 months and got severe hyperpigmentation on my lips. I had at least two yeast infections in that duration. I also was more sensitive to light.. felt tired more than usual and my teeth felt sensitive
@@user-gl8lv4qg6b 100mg once everyday, I have taken two breaks but one lasted for two weeks and the other one lasted for only three weeks. My doctor didn’t know about either breaks though and has said nothing. Would you think this poses a problem?
@@angelaw6810 I don’t think it would pose a problem! I actually took doxycycline for about the as long as you did and I also took a 2 ish week break during my treatment and it didn’t cause any problems for me.
I was put on tetracycline as a teen and my first time trying it it gave me a full blown anaphylactic reaction! I have to list -cyclines as an allergy of mine now yikes

Hey Dr. Dray, I have hallows under my eyes. No matter how much good sleep I get the hallows are always there. I've had them since I was a kid, but I've noticed the older I'm getting the more noticeable they are. What's the best solution to reduce the appearance of them?🤔
Dr. Dray, I'm 42 and just came off of a 6 day regime of antibiotics for bladder infection. It is causing the worst breakout after barely having any blemishes for 9 years. Been using those colloid patches with cica, but still breaking out everywhere! Antibiotics are not the answer.... For me.

Ive taken oratane before this and my skin had clear up.. but months ago, my doc change oratne to minocycline. Today i ask her how long should i take this, and she said i should take it until ive decided to get married or pregnent. I was advise to take 50 mg once a day. She said if i stop this minocycline acne will come back and she also said that this mediction will really help with redness on my skim.. but after reading the side effect of this medication and when dr dray said it shudnt be taken for long term, im a bit worried. 😣
My sister got c diff infection from antibiotics prescribed for a skin condition. She took probiotics along with antibiotics and still got the infection. Take these meds as a last resort.
when using the foam (Zilxi) my derm said to use it in the AM but i read the instructions and both you and them said to use it at night. I like that because it's too oily for me during the day. Now, when do i incorporate any HA serums or moisturizers when using it at night? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you!
@Marinah Parkinson- was it Prescribe by dermatologist? I’m looking on Amazon but I’m seeing reviews on how the product fake and being sold from other what would be a good way to know which to get ?
My dermatologist recommended doxycycline and worked for a couple of years but I developed resistance. Since then I have tried salicylic acid, tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide (throughout the years) and nothing has work🤦🏻♀️
The same thing happened for me along with trying minocyclin. The only thing that’s worked for me is spironolactone.. you should look into it!! It’s not an antibiotic it’s actually a blood pressure medication but it’s the only thing that’s worked for me :)

Just the comments I was looking for haha. I took my first pill of minocycline & 5 hours later I was super itchy everywhere. I wonder if this means that we have to report a minocycline allergy from now on 🤔
Minocycline made me super nauseous and fatigue but it did help with my acne for a while. Eventually my acne came back after stopping this medication. I wouldn't get on it again.
Why would u not get on it again
I was on minocycline and doxy in high school to try to combat my cystic acne, and it never really helped. Couldn’t be in the sun for 20 minutes, even cool days, on Doxy without blistering sunburns, then went to mino. Minocycline made me losing weight almost impossible. I have only lost weight since, with much less activity after i stopped taking them. I was the most physical i have ever been while on minocyline my sophomore and to the end of my junior year, and still gained massive amounts of weight. This is the only prescription besides ibuprofen and miralax i ever took then, I don’t like taking meds if i can help it. So nothing but these acne’s meds were in my system, so this isn’t just justifying situations. How tf could I have lost over 100 pounds, 290+ to 165 now, without any exercise, and with worse eating habits?
Fast forward a couple years later when I got my wisdom teeth pulled out. The dentist specifically asked me if I had taken an oral acne medication. When I said minocycline and doxycycline, he said yup the minocycline would do it. These antibiotics specifically rot your teeth from under your gumline. When they pulled out them, there was a 2 mm black line. So its damn terrifying that i was never once told that this was a possible side effect. Nor the inability to lose weight, like it flat out stopped my metabolism, then it kickstarted a couple months after fullly quitting. Toooooo many coinciding issues, without other possible chemicals present.
Finishing this video, i had a incompetent dermatologist or he just didn’t care
One thing I respect Dr. Dray is that she is unique & doing her own thing. Unlike many skincare youtubers always try to get on another youtuber’s coattails.
I suffered from acne from 12 years old. I am now 59!! Until my early 40s, my life was a nightmare. The only treatment I didn’t try was accutane as I was of child bearing years. Then 15 years ago a dermatologist prescribed minocycline. I had previously been on tetracycline but it had done nothing. Minocycline was truly a miracle for me and I continued on it all these years, taking a pill every second day. Then about six months ago antibiotic resistance kicked in and I am breaking out again at this ridiculous old age. I am debating trying the heavy dosing of B5 as accutane still concerns me.🤦🏻♀️
I just got prescribed Minocycline for my acne, today. I discovered antibiotics were going to help my acne after I was prescribed a different antibiotic for a UTI last week and surprisingly, the antibiotics for my UTI started to clear up my acne within 2 days. I'm excited to see how Minocycline works for me. I can't take the combined oral contraceptive pill for my acne because of health contraindications, it's too risky, so that's why I'm trying antibiotics.
How is this going? I just got prescribed it today and I’m kinda worried 😥😥😥
Results?
@@fatimaali-qz4jo long story short, I ended up having to get of Minocycline after a few weeks because of the side effects and also having kidney stones that my doctor believed may have been caused by the UTI i had, so, I can't really say whether the Minocycline worked because I wasn't on it long enough. I ended up switching to a lower dose of the antibiotic I had to treat my UTI- I believe it's called Trimethoprim. I was on a half dose of Trimethoprim for 4 months and it cleared my acne completely. I've had to get of it a couple of weeks ago because my urologist who is now monitoring my kidney stones, said it wasn't healthy for me to be on antibiotics for that long because of the increased risk of bacterial resistance and I'd only had the one UTI. So far, my skin has remained clear since coming of Trimethoprim. Trimethoprim is not usually used to treat acne, but it was a good side effect of the medication that it cleared my acne.
Long story short, the Minocycline didn't work out because I had to switch to another antibiotic to treat something else a few weeks after I was prescribed it. I also had some stomach issues when on Minocycline.
Thank you for making these videos! 💜 My derm had prescribed 20mg daily of doxy and said there is no risk of bacterial resistance at that low dosage (since at that dosage it'smeant to be anti-inflammatory rather than antibacterial), but others have disagreed with this... so I stopped taking it after 6 months. Would be very curious to know your thoughts! 😊
What can you say about the tablets? Did it help you?
Thank you for this. I watched this video to see if itchy skin was a side as at night I feel like things are crawling over me but there is nothing there and it’s only started while on this.
that happen to me i was so itchy
It’s happening to me and I’m not sure what to do, I only have less than 2 weeks left I’m not sure if I should push thru 😭
Doxy worked for me for the first 2 months before my cystic acne came back again, my doctor has just changed me to minocycline instead, praying this works :(
"Well hello guys" best intro I love to hear! 😁
This is very helpful to us! Thank you :) labyu.

Hello Dr Dray! Can you make a video on how skin is affected and treatment if you have autoimmune disorders? Like lupus, etc. It'll be of great help. Thank you.
Dr dray how do you know what I’m thinking about everytime???
Hello. Happy Friday. Last year I was on Minocycline for 5 months. My dermo said it was a harmonal breakout . I never had anything like this. The breakout was all over my face and upper chest and there were pustuales. I took the antibiotic and another topical and it cleared up well, but leaving a little bit of redness and I feel scarring.. to me it seemed like a rosacea and I still feel like once in awhile I get a small bump here and there. At 59 I really didn't think I would have be going through this with my skin but as of today it is much better. sometimes I wonder if it's just from stress, but I did have vertigo and really bad headaches for a while when on the medication. And I didn't like being outside in the sun.
Did the minocyclin help you?
Could you make a video addressing men’s beards or stubble and the skin underneath? Like if it’s okay to just apply our moisturizer and other products directly to beard stubble to get it on skin underneath. Thank you!
Dr vanita rattan just posted a video about skincare for beards a few days ago.
But if acne comes back if you get off the antibiotic and you’re still using every topical in the book, what other options are there (besides isotretinoin)? If you stay on the antibiotic indefinitely, besides potentially harming gut flora, are there any other things to keep in mind? What other solutions are there? I’d rather have some gut issues than inflammatory acne because my self-esteem completely drops when I get pimples.
Isotretinoin its the ultimate solution, there is no other one, thats what my dermatologist said
Oral minocycline stains teeth on some people. I’m talking about brown staining. My hygienist got it all off of the back of my lower teeth thank God. I will never take that again!!
That’s one of the side effects of oral minocycline. It can stain skin too when taken as a long lasting treatment!
I got this side effect too, right before grad photos a few years back 😩
How long were you taking it before you noticed that?
@@yeseniacastillo4587 The first time I was on it for a year, but I’m not sure when I noticed it during that time. The second time I was on it for only a month. Which validated where the staining was coming from. This was two years apart.
lol i thought those marks were coffee stains but they must be a side effect of the medication. i’m on my third month of minocycline
My daughter ended up getting C Diff from Minocycline after a week. on top of that the vomiting. Never again she's suffering with acne :(
I was prescribed minocycline when I was a teenager (14-15 ish), by my primary care doctor and never told to limit the use to 3-4 months, and I ended up being on it for over a year. The following year I had come off the pills but I was left with so many side effects. Constant and chronic heartburn that would lead to vomiting and nausea every day. I had many visits to the doctor, urgent care and the hospital including an endoscopy. Nobody could tell me why my body was acting the way it was. This went on for another year. Looking back it must have been from the prolonged use of medication, right? Now that I am more educated I can’t believe that was never mentioned, they never ended up figuring it out either. :/
I was on minocycline in high school to try to combat my cystic acne, a couple years later when I got my wisdom teeth pulled out. The dentist specifically asked me if I had taken an oral acne medication. When I said minocycline and doxycycline, he said yup the minocycline would do it.

@@ashlynlarsen Did the tablets still help you with your acne?
@@ashlynlarsen but its not visible to others right? only to the dentist and you know it when the tooth was taken out? i would rather have that than acne then
@@madsterg I had acne while on meds……. But would burn in 15-20 minutes in sunlight. Now one 21 still have acne…. More scars
My problem is, is that not a single practitioner in the three years of me using it said to me that it shouldn’t be used long-term. They had my records. That should be malpractice.
It’s crazy how common this is! I had the same thing happen to me when I was younger!
i just got off minocycline thank u for this 💛
Does it effective
I was prescribed minocycline last year in combination with adapalene, used it for about 7 months it cleared up my skin really well, but when I stopped my acne came back worse and the antibiotics ruined my gut health. My doctor wasn’t very clear on how long I was supposed to be on it and didn’t tell me the risks mentioned in this video. Now I’m using tretinoin cream.
Hope this helps anyone who’s experienced the same thing
Same with my sister. She had a bout with c. Diff and this can reoccur.
So happy when I can watch your videos not long after I finish work in the UK. I find your videos entertaining 😃🎉 and relaxing and enjoy your specialist knowledge. Thanks Dr Dray and wish you a lovely weekend 🇬🇧🤩❤️
Greetings Naddy N hope u r well n Happy Friday😀👍💜....
I started taking minocycline twice a day and it gave me an intense heart beat and made me extremely light headed and short breathed. I still don’t know how that happened tbh.
Just took this pill today, I will keep you guys updated if y’all want me to
Yes please! @ me! I was prescribed this and I'm scared lol
@@morganpoole6942 I will give you update in a month. Only been a week so far, not a lot of changes

I got drug induced lupus when i took these (took both within 4 months of each other) :O
I had the same thing happen to me back in my 20's with Minocycline. Thankfully the symptoms disappeared soon after I stopped taking it. It really did clear up my acne though!
@@drearides1692 Mine took quite a few months, but the lupus symptoms are gone now! finally
@@amandalynnwood That's great to hear. The pain was unbearable when I was going through it. Not fun.

@@amandalynnwood Definitely! :)
I took Minocycline in high school and it worked great!
did u get any side effects?

Did your acne come back worse after?
@@Sasha_xo nope!
man, oral tetracycline and then minocycline for my cystic back acne did a number on my body in high school :( just anecdotally, my gut really suffered for a solid period of time afterwards.

BE CAREFUL WITH THIS ANTIBIOTIC. I was on minocycline for my acne. it gave me intracranial hypertension and I almost went blind.
😱

Omg :( I'm so sorry.
Minocyclone was the only thing that cleared up my moderate nodular acne! I wish it could be used as a regular treatment because nothing else has worked for me as well :/
I'm applying minocycline hydrochloride topical gel and reading your comment too.it's day 1
Hi Dr! I’ve noticed that my face is significantly darker than my body, even though I apply enough sunscreen 3 times a day. I currently use non tinted sunscreens, but would a tinted sunscreen reduce pigmentation cause by visible or blue light?
Have you had any experience of prescribing erythromycin for acne? My dermatologist prescribed me this for my back acne and after doing my own research, it seems that this kind of anti-biotic is not that widely prescribed for acne. I was on minocycline for my face acne a couple years back, but had to stop because i got an allergic reaction from it so that’s why She suggested erythromycin instead. This was a super helpful video!!
Hi Dr. Dray! Can you please advise on how to treat an acne scar scar which is raised a li'l?
Thank you Dr.Dray so helpful for me and son have a lovely blessed day
Wow perfecttiming , i was just prescribed minocycline today to help with my moderate acne !!! Dr Dray could you please recommend a product with kojic acid that does not contain vitamin C and glycolic acid ? Thank you 🤗😘
naturium tranaxemic acid has kojic acid and is amazing for pigmentation! also does not have glycolic or vit c :)
@@summerxdani great thanks !!!!
And did it help you?
For combination skin (oily+KP), a face wash with salicylic acid as Eucerin dermopure oil control gel is good?
Hi dr dray , are the sunscreens that you mentioned in your previous videos protect from IRA rays too ? please tell me thank you .
I’m starting Amzeeq the foam version of this and wanted to know if side effects are the same as taking this medicine orally.
The only side effect I have heard about Amzeeq is that your skin can turn slightly orange if you use too much. It would be interesting to hear from you about how your experience with this product.
@@TheAnhard it doesn’t turn orange, the skin gets a yellow tint from the foam but it washes off :)
@@pockyeatingpanda thank you for your answer. :)
Are you happy with its results? Thinking of trying it myself.
I have been given Mindocylcin along with Clindamycin Bianca topical gel, do you think it will heal and clear my skin permanently?
Hi, I'm prescribed with Minocycline 100 mg for 3 days for acne.
I have a recent history of vaginal yeast infection. For that I took Flucanazole hard capsule and it's gone fully and no symptoms.
Now I'm worried about, if I take Minocycline can yeast infection come back??
please reply!!!
hello everyone, a year ago my doctor gave me minocycline. I didn't suffer much from acne anymore, but I still had some residue on chest and back. So the doctor decided to give a course of minocycline. however after 3 months, the acne broke out so bad, on my face, chest, back, scalp. Does anyone know what happened?
Thank you for your videos Dr. Dray. Can you educate us about phenoxyethanol? I recently read that its very harmful especially for infant yet most shampoos and wet wipes contain that ingredient. Thank you
It's honestly just a preservative capped at 1% and unless ur allergic to it (which is rare) idk where you heard the news abt it being harmful. It's probably just the same boat as parabens
Do you have any insight on the tinted face oil Kosas ??? Thanks Dr Dray. Love your content. 💓
I got really horrible mask-ne, from having one mask and needing to go out every day for about 2 months straight, and having expired skincare products. Bought more masks, got new skincare, but my mom insisted I still go to the doctor. The acne was so bad, every time I saw, well, anyone they said, "ouch, that looks painful," and it was! So now I'm on a combo of minocycline and clindamycin, doctor said clindamycin will be used for 3 months, the minocycline will be used for 40 days. So far, 20 days in, acne is looking better, not gone but redness and pain is very much reduced... but now I'm getting more forehead acne lol.
@@jemanddegall9567 Nah I had an allergic reaction. I was itchy all over consistently and would get dizzy after taking the pill portion. All the while acne was only marginally improved (and as mentioned I had gotten new masks and skincare, so I attribute the improvement more to those than the medicine).
What would you suggest as a topical if you are allergic to benzoyl peroxide?
I was on this for only 2 weeks and of course I got a yeast infection.. I am sensitive to getting them, would you have any other recommendations to try?
Did you take probiotics while taking them? ✌️

Could you please talk about topical Minoclycline (aka Amzeeq topical foam)? My dermatologist put me on it for perioral dermatitis after Doxy stopped working for me. Would love yo hear your opinion on this topical foam medication for the treatment of PD. Thanks so much!
Are there any studies describing the difference in effectiveness of oral versus topical minocycline?
dr dray can you talk about tretinoin with erythromycin??????
I was on minocycline for 6 months and got severe hyperpigmentation on my lips. I had at least two yeast infections in that duration. I also was more sensitive to light.. felt tired more than usual and my teeth felt sensitive
It made my lips darker too! Ugh did it help your acne though?
Just started today. Hope it works 😭

What’s the milligram dose you’re taking and how many times per day?
@@user-gl8lv4qg6b 100mg once everyday, I have taken two breaks but one lasted for two weeks and the other one lasted for only three weeks. My doctor didn’t know about either breaks though and has said nothing. Would you think this poses a problem?

Hey Dr. Dray, I have hallows under my eyes. No matter how much good sleep I get the hallows are always there. I've had them since I was a kid, but I've noticed the older I'm getting the more noticeable they are. What's the best solution to reduce the appearance of them?🤔
I've been on Doxy for years.. I'd love to get off the antibiotics for good. What is a good alternative long-term solution??
Hey, how can you prevent the yeast infection and continue with the medication?
Take probiotics!! You can get them at any drug store :)
Would you be able to do a video on the topical form of minocycline, Amzeeq foam, for acne?
Dr. Dray, I'm 42 and just came off of a 6 day regime of antibiotics for bladder infection. It is causing the worst breakout after barely having any blemishes for 9 years. Been using those colloid patches with cica, but still breaking out everywhere! Antibiotics are not the answer.... For me.
Hey dr Drey. I'm using La Roche Posay effaclor duo +
