Hey guys :) recently been diagnosed with PCOS and have been put on Lymecycline to manage acne symptoms, does anyone have experience with this?
If so did the antibiotics help?
Thanks xxx

Hey I had bad acne not pcos tho but I used the antibiotic oxytetracycline for roughly 2 years then it stopped working, I got referred to dermatologist and got put on roacutane for 7 months and it took my acne away completely! I've been of roacutane for over s year now and my skin is still clear! Honestly the best thing I ever done was take that, I had suffered really bad cystic acne, scarring painfull spots for nearly 10 years! Xx

I have been on that antibiotic for my Rosacea and it was brilliant . Took about a month to show results .

Thanks guys. It's been a few weeks but seems the same so far :/ hopefully I'll see an Improvement soon. I don't think people realise that it's painful as well as making you self conscious :( xx
