Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
It seems you are doing self medication for your acne which is not at all advisable. Doxycycline is used in acne but is not indicated in all types of acne.
i will advise you to meet a dermatologist near by for proper consultation.
In the meanwhile
use a salicylic acid based face wash- neutrogena or saslic or saliac or spongysal
apply clindamycin in day and adapalene gel in night time.
get your blackheads removed
avoid facials massages and oily products over face

safi might be a blood purifier but acne has nothing to do with blood impurity! simply using safi wont help.
take care

hello,
thank you for using health care magic,
doxycycline 100mg once a day for month is ideal dose.. if you feel that there is no result then you can go for doxycycline 100mg twice a day for a month..
also apply clindamycine gel on face..
take tablet of isotretinoine 10mg daily..
avoid spicy.oily and fatty food..
you can also go for chemical peeling..
take care..
