Hello,
Medical science is evolving rapidly.There are various ways to treat acne these days. Doxycycline though is effective to some extent but better to have some other treatments to have complete cure.Isotretinoin has revolutionized acne treatment.If used properly under the guidance of your doctor this will be very useful specially for cystic acne like you have and it have long term effects than other methods.But this medicine is prohibited while pregnant.
Hope you consult your dermatologist soon to have some better treatment like i have mentioned.
Take care.Thank you.
