Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
For acne there is not any antibiotic. Maintain cleanliness and hygiene. You will develop all side effects of Minocycline. Benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid preparation and sulfur soap will be better.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ashok Kumar Dash
