Does oral acne medication get rid of your current acne or just prevent new acne?
tslal asked:
Or does it do both?
I’m on an oral acne medication and I haven’t been getting any new pimples, but its not getting rid of the current acne I have (I have mostly whiteheads). I’ve been on it for one week (its minocycline) I’m also using differin and a facewash so its not like im only using oral medicine but i just want to know how it works.
Also, what are the best oral acne medicines or what has worked for you?

Should I start taking a different acne medication?
kritkrew asked:
I’ve been taking minocycline for acne for over a year. I’ve never had horrendous skin, but I get at least one cystic pimple a week along with a few everywhere else. I also have two topical medications that I use. I take impeccable and consistent care of my skin, yet my skin is never fully clear. Is this the best my skin is going to get with minocycline or should I be seeing better results than this?
