Hi,

Acne is a multifactoial skin disease. It requires long term regular treatment with patience. You may continue minocycline. Add one more medicine like isotretinoin in low dose 5 mg daily. Apply clindamycine gel on the lesions. Avoid tension,stress and anxiety. Have good sleep. Avoid oily food.do anti dandruff shampoo if you have dandruff. Do not squeeze the lesions. Take treatment for long time about 6 months to two years under observation of dermatologist. You will get good result.

Thanks.
