i know everyone is different, but what is the more successful antibiotic? oxytetracycline worked a bit, erythromycin was complete crap, now its lymecycline - good/bad?

they all suck - go to a dermatologist if you can

yeah I now they all suck, that's just what the dermatologist gave me!! She said go on it for 3months :mad: . I really can't be bothered, these antibiotics are crap, but noooo she had to give me lymecycline. The one's I have been prescribed are all from the same family (well 2 of them), they usually work a few weeks, then the effect wears off.

But perhaps she didn't think accutane was nessesary.

i noticed improvements in the first few weeks but now its not working as well


to be honest i dont even have acne as such, mostly scarring on my back and my face is pretty clear, but i wanted to nip it in the bud
