Suggest Treatment For Bad Acne And Irregular Periods

I am suffering from bad acne. I m currently taking Doxicip-100 once in the afternoon from past on week. I have also been diagnosed with PCOS for irregular periods and prescribed with Crisanta. Is it safe to take Doxicip in the afternoon and crisanta in the night for beautiful skin and regular periods?

Dermatologist 's  Response
Thank you for usimg HCM.
Doxicycline (Doxicip) should preferably be taken at night.
Yes it is safe to take both.
But along with these medications u also need to use a benzoyl peroxide based face wash twice daily, clindamycin gel twice daily and benzoyl peroxide 5 percent gel at night both gels only over the acne.
hope this helps you.
