Brief Answer:
Depends on acne severity
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
Depends on the activity of your acne. If you have moderately severe to severe grade of acne your acne may relapse faster as compared to if you have mild to moderate grade of acne. Normally, once acne is under control it is advisable to continue some forn of topical therapy e.g adapalene with or without clindamycin, after oral antibiotics are stopped to help keep acne under control. Minocycline has no effect on pores.
