Well I was at the doctors yesterday(first time in 9 years) and I was enquiring about this rash on my leg.

Anyway he eventually said anything else you want to ask, and I decided to ask about my acne which is now really getting bad on my back (which its not good seeming as its summer and I'm going swimming)

And he looked and totally understood and has given me a 2 month supply of Oxytetracycline. There 4 a day tablets and trust me they work!

I've only had 8 so far and practically all my spots are fading.

so the point of this is, if you worried about acne and its embarrassing go to to your doctor and get Oxytetracycline its amazing.

okay hope this helps :)

I don't know the name of the medication, but I was using something like that [though it was once daily, not 4 times a day] and it worked wonders, but supposedly it makes your skin sensitive [this is referring to the medication I previously used, not necessarily the one you are referring to] so I've been forced to use a different medication over the summer, and it isn't doing shit... :/

Hate to ruin the party...but some people might react differently to this. It's not going to work for everyone. And he just started it. Sometimes medications work at first but stop after some time.

^^ Don't forget that they often have negative side effects as well...

I can't pronounce it either.

right lets have a look at the instructions for side effects.
Please note that is taken by around 98% of patients without any problems, however, like many other medicines, it may cause side effects in a small number of people. Theser Include.

Stomach upset
loss of appetite
skin irritations
redness of throat if not taken properly

I called the doctor that my spots have really faded already and he said, "yes thats normal however don't stop because they will come back if you stop." He also said that they might pop up again however the bacteria eventually dies off and the spots goes.

Why thank you. I think though I don't have that bad, so I'll be fine.
But good advice.

Acne is a skin disease caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated sebaceous gland). Severe acne is inflammatory, but acne can also manifest in noninflammatory forms Acne lesions are commonly referred to as pimples, spots, or zits.
you can remove it through online treatment.

I have bad acne as well. I use Clearasil now but it is barley doing the job. The last time I was at the doctor she said that if it gets worse to ask 4 a perscription. I'm going 2 need a physical soon and will ask then. If the doc gives me that, i'll let u know.

My friend used Oxytetracycline and it worked like magic for him. He lost his acne very fast.

Well, congratulations on losing your acne.
