Can minocycline or epiduo cause blackhead breakouts?
I've always had mild acne and oily skin so i decided to go to the dermatologist about a month and a half ago. My dermatologist perscribed me with both minocycline and epiduo in order to treat my acne. I have now been following my doctors exact directions on using these drugs for about month and a half. My skin has gotten worse never before would i get blackheads and now my skin is covered in them. I have also devolped very dry skin that flakes off while still looking oily along with this random blackhead breakout all over my face. I know that one of the side affects of both these medications is maybe some dry skin in the beginning, but could this blackhead breakout all over my face be caused from the acne treatment I am taking? I have never gotten blackheads on my face until after taking this medication.
are these blackheads and dry oil on my face being caused from my acne treatment of minocycline and epiduo?

I’ve been in that situation and there is really nothing you can do about it. There are things you can do to try to reduce the blemishes and get rid of acne/pimples temporarily but you will always be finding yourself cleaning your face or your body depending on where it’s at.
I mean of course your acne should go away eventually but for some this is the case their whole life.
I’m 29 years old and have been suffering from these little pests since I was a teenager. I tried all sorts of face washes from the local grocery store and what not, but nothing seemed to work. If anything it would just make my skin dry and itchy.
Literally the best acne face wash I’ve ever used has been this stuff called clearpores. It has got rid of the acne to quickest and has been a success ever since I got it. It’s unique cause of it’s herbal supplement you take a long with it that helps your skin from the inside out. I saved money on it at skincleansingsystem.com at the time which was helpful.
You should really look into this stuff and if you can to assure the best results, get the 3 month supply because if it doesn’t work it will still save you butt on the return policy.
Well good luck and best wishes.
