Q: Tell Me About Tetracycline

Hi!
I just started taking tetracycline for a month. I get less pimples and their sizes and colors are smaller and lighter. Does it happen to others who have healed from tetracycline?

Thanks

I just started taking it about 2 weeks ago, 4 times a day. My derm also prescribed me tazorac gel for the night time and duac gel for the day.

Recently I have been getting very bad peeling and like this burning and reddness on the sides of my face. Do you think it was the tetracycline? Did you get anything like this? Would you say it worked in a month?

I don't know if tetracycline works. Like I said, I still get pimples but they tend to be smaller.

Strange...It better damn work. Are you using anything else? My derm said that it was to get my acne under control, then he'll only concentrate on it topically.
