rosacea
"I am 46 and have had rosacea my whole life, but never had a bad outbreak until recently.  I tried other antibiotics (oral and topical) and minocycline was the only  one that actually cleared my skin back to normal- even the slight redness on my cheeks is going away. I started taking 100 mg twice a day and noticed a difference in a day re- burning lessened. It took about 5 days for my skin to return to its pre-rosacea state. I will continue using minocycline."
