HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Using the antibiotic mentioned, doxycycline , should help.
The presence of bacteria is one of the reasons for acne.
The other causes of acne are inflammation of the skin, blockage of hair follicles and production of excess sebum.
In addition to the antibiotics: (1) products with benzoyl peroxide may help
(2)topical retinoids or oral retinoids if you are not planning to conceive would also be ideal
I hope this helps
