Re: Minocycline

I had significant improvement with Mino in 6 weeks, noticable improvement in

2 weeks. It helps with the redness, the bumps, and the texture of the skin.

RE: minocycline (Minocin)

I had taken tetracycline, doxycycline & erythromycin, prior to taking

Minocycline. I had been off all antibiotics for a while when I started the

Mino. Without a doubt, the Minocin has been the most effective antibiotic

for me BY FAR. When I take it, it eliminates all symptoms. It eliminates

the redness & raised bumpy itchy skin and seemed to act (for me) pretty

quickly (within 2 weeks). I am sure that everyone's experience is probably

different but I have been VERY HAPPY with Minocin.

Note: My Derm says erythromycin is NOT that great for rosacea. Something

about the difference between the mycins & the cyclines' effect on bacteria.

He does not prescribe erythromycin for rosacea for that reason.
