Facial Skin Infection

For the last two months, I have been taking Minocycline, which is an antibiotic designed to eliminate infections on the surface of the face that appear like raised bumps (but not acne) that itch and when scratched, a yellowy ooze comes out of them.

The medicine was prescribed by my Dermatologist who said I could take these pills twice a day until the infections cleared up, or I could take them until, he saw me again in 3 months.

I decided to take them for 2 months which ended yesterday and that I would see what happens to my facial skin before I return to my Dermatologist in a month, especially since there were no side effects that were associated with stopping this medication, "cold turkey," as is the case with some meds.

Besides, I was really concerned with the negative impacts of long term usage of this drug which he implied I might be taking for a while...

I only want to take those meds that I absolutely have to take to regulate my body appropriate for its age and on-going medical conditions.
