Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Microdox and Dapsone can be used for Acne, but usually not together. Medrol 16 is an oral steroid and I do not recommend it for Acne. It can have side effects like weight gain, diabetes, hypertension, Weak bones, acne etc on long term use.
I recommend you to please consult another dermatologist for your acne treatment.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
