I recently read about a genetic test called AcneDX that tests whether or not oral antibiotics will be an effective
acne treatment. My teenaged daughter has moderate
acne and tetracycline has been suggested. I'm concerned about giving her a medication that may have side effects and produce an antibiotic resistance later in her life, and it may not even work to clear her acne up. The test sounds like a great way to find out prior to treatment if the antibiotics will help.
