i’ve had minor acne for a few months now (but always been prone to spots) i mentioned it to my doctor and he prescribed me lymecycline which i didn’t expect… I want to take so that i dont have to worry about my skin for the wedding, but i’ve heard it can make things worse.
Any experiences here?

I took tetracycline for a while, which is from the same family of drugs but with a lower absorption rate. While on tetracycline I also had a prescription for Retin-a and Differin, which are both topical. If I started out with acne of 8 out of 10 (10 being the worst), the first month or two took me up to a 9. Eventually it brought me down to a 6-7, but the results were temporary.
I also got dry flakey skin and terrible sunburns.
