hello
thanks for posting your query.
doxycycline is effective in treating acne.
also hope you have not been picking up on any of the lesions as that will lead to deep scars and pigmentation.
in addition to doxycycline, active lesions also need to be treated with creams for better results.
first of all creams that you can apply.
you need to follow a routine of cleansing, sunscreen , creams daily.
cleanse your face with cetaphil cleansing lotion for acne prone skin thrice daily.
sunscreen needs to be used daily , neutrogena would be a good choice.
creams would be:-
clindamycin gel on the active acne lesions in the morning and Retin A 0.025% cream at night on the entire face.
Retin A needs to be applied only at night, start with coming it for 2 hours and then gradually increase the time interval to keep it overnight.
regards

Hi, Celsorian,
Thanks for query.
You continue with Doxylag 100 mg as advised by your doctor. It will work even in hot weather.
Do face wash daily for 2-3 times, this will give relief from oily skin.
Use some water soluble moisturizing lotion or cream.
Try to avoid oily items as far as possible.
Take more green veggies and fresh fruits.
Take plenty of water.
Ok and bye.
