Spots/ Minocyclin
by GK1084, Sep 18, 2009 10:52AM
Hi all,
Last year I had blemishes all over my face and my dermatologist suggested I should take Minocyclin (50mg) for few months or until they dissapear. After few days of use blemishes and black spots were totally gone!! Not a single one!! Then I stoped it.
Now I have blemishes again and I was thinking to start Minocylin again. Although could someone tell me for how long should I take them so blemishes wont appear again? On top of that, I am suffering hair loss, doctor said its from stress and I take some vitamins and Regaine (5%).. Can I start Minocyclin while I take the other drugs? I worried that one of the side effects of Minocyclin is hair loss.. Hair loss appeared few months after I stoped Minocyclin. Are these two linked together? Can I start it again and if so for how long?
Any advice is welcome!!
Thanx

Alopecia or hair loss is a side effect of minocyclin. So I would advice you not to take it without a dermatologist’s prescription. For the blemishes, use hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. Please discuss these options with your dermatologist before using them.
I hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Kind regards.
Hello
Thank you very much for this!!!! I will talk to my dermatologist and will let you know.
Best regards
