A doctor suggested that I try antibotics and prescribed Doxitab? What are the side effects of this antibiotic?
Acne very common problem, both male and female. If it is not infected, simple cream will work, but as per history, you have got infection along with it. So you may require, long course of antibiotic with smaller dose. The doctor prescribed tab Roxy tab is ok, you can take for about two weeks in smaller dose. It has very minor or nil side effects, taken under supervision of doctor.  Severe form of acne is known as acne vulgarism, where you have to consult skin specialist for the treatment. Sometimes hormonal treatment also may require. Use of cream also should be prescribed by specialist, as certain cream also can cause sensitizing effect on skin, so it should be under specialist supervision.  If cicatrization OCCE, sometimes plastic surgery also may require.
