Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain if have have a recurring eruption of pimples you can take Doxycycline again but along with it you need to take non-comedogenic medicines [anti-acne medicines]along with it like topical application of benzoyl peroxide and clindanycin gel..
Apply Adapelen gel at night..
Limit sun exposure and always apply a sunscreen lotion when exposed to sun..
Avoid oily food and keep your skin dry and clean by washing your face with salicylic acid and glycolic acid facewash..
You can also go for glycolic acid peels ..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
