Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Doxycycline for truncal acne usually takes a month to clear the lesions. You could also use topical gels contain clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide.
You need to be compliant with your treatment and follow up regularly for complete clearance of acne.
Hope this answered your query.
Take care.
