Hi, guys.


I developed sudden acne about a year ago. I'm 28 and have never been troubled with spots, not even through puberty.

I had my hormone levels tested and they're fine.


I started using panoxyl for 6 weeks. I didn't work.

I used quinoderm for 6 weeks. That failed to work, too.


My gp then prescribed me minocycline for 6 months. I returned for a check up after 2 months. My skin, if anything, was worsening. So, he gave me a prescription for dianette to take alongside the minocycline.


I'm now 4 months into the minocycline and just started my second pack of dianette and my skin seems to have improved slightly.


Just a couple questions:

my boobs have become pretty tender and have grown about a cup size since starting the dianette. Is this normal?


Also, will my contraceptive cover be lower as i'm taking the minocycline?


Hoping to hear from someone soon.

Thanks in anticipation :)
