hi im dr satya
welcome to health care magic,
vibramycin and doxitab are the same medication, both contain doxycycline hydrochloride,
keratoregulator cream is nothing but retinoic acid and its use will to some extent reduce acne.
acne near nose is a reflection of sebaceous activity.
its better to use a face wash containing 2% salicylic acid, and apply clindamycin cream for a better result, take care not to rupture or squeeze the contents of the acne since the area comes under danger area of face.
take care and see a dermatologist for good suggestion.
thank you
dr satya
