This is just ignorant...I'm so tired of people constantly disrespecting antibiotics without understanding how they work or what they do.
Doxycycline is a protein-inhibitor that does affects bacterial cells while doing absolutely nothing to human cells. What it does do is stop bacterial cells from growing (and thus reproducing), by inhibiting the production of a protein that is required for the bacteria to grow, so that your body's natural immune system can eradicate the infection. To state "don't fill your body with antyibiotics, it is not worth it. Take them then it is really nessesary" (all spelling and grammatical errors aside) implies that you think that doxycycline is harmful to humans, which it is not. Of course the acne comes back when you stop taking it...People that are prone to acne will most likely always be prone to acne. So what? It isn't causing any problems for the majority of people taking it, so why should they ever stop?
By the way, any drug, from antacids to whatever can cause stomach problems like ulcers in those that are sensitive to them. All antibiotics can cause diarrhea at the onset of treatment, because all humans have beneficial bacteria in their digestive systems. While some of these will be affected by the antibiotics, some will survive and their "offspring" will be immune to further doses of that antibiotic. Note that this is not a concern, as these bacteria are symbiotic and not parasitic.
I really wish that the people that preach against antibiotics would take the time to understand what they do and how they work before denouncing them as evil.

i tried it for one year and it worked great, all my acne disappeared, but I acquired a lot more, I started to have stomach problems (ulcer, diarrhea), my cycle went wild. I did not have period for over six months (doctors wanted me to take steriods) and it only normarized after 4 years. But the worse part about it the moment I stopped taking tetracycline all of my pimples, blemishes and cysts reappeared.
I recommend to stick to natural products, oral and topical. For me worked beautifully topical acne cream by nucream without any oral supplement.
