hey, i know its tough, but it really depends on how your body reacts. i have been on close to every antibiotic/medication for acne and some made it worse .... some helped for a few months. nothing i took actually got rid of it for more than 7 months. i am on accutane now so hopefully that will work, but its all about trying. if your skin isnt bad enough and cant take accutane, i recommend minocylcline or trycycline, or benzaclin for a topical. but again, its all about how your body reacts. good luck and let us know how it goes :) * also i recommend getting a dermatologist because they know more about what would help you than a doctor :) *
