Hi. I am 43 and have this around my chin, between my eyebrows and it is getting worse in both areas.
I was prescribed sulfacetamide sodium topical suspension 10% 3 weeks ago. Yesterday, after 3 phone calls, I was prescribed Minocycline 100mg # 30. Can you tell me why Doxy is preferred to Minocycline? Does the Doxy work faster than the Mino? I am allergic to NSAIDS if that makes any difference.
I know you said this thread is ended but could you please take a look at this and tell me what you think of it and could this data indicate that minocycline could indeed slow down replication making it possible for delayed seroconversion, which would make my test at the 5 month mark inaccurate.

Hi, Minocycline and Doxycycline are all types of Tetracycline. Minocycline is the most broad spectrim of the three. So, Minocycline should work better than Doxycycline. I can't see why a bacteria would be resistant to Minocycline would be sensitive to Doxycycline. It would be the other way around. Lyme's disease takes two months of Doxy or Minocycline to treat. So it could take that long for other bacteria.
Here is a great article about food interactions with drugs sometimes used to treat Lyme and coinfections. I have been on a few of the meds listed in the artIcle, and I was unaware of these conflicts, especially dairy / calcium with the tetracyclines (Doxycycline, Minocycline) & fluroquinolones (Cipro, Avelox, Levaquin).
It also mentions that caffeine, and therefore chocolate, can interfere with some antibiotics, but then doesn't say which ones.

Alternatively, the best choice might be for both of you to return to the STD clinic and explain the situation there. Most likely they will agree with me and will treat you both with doxycycline and perhaps metronidazole or tinidazole.
Please return with a follow-up comment and let me know how it all turns out.
I had a red spot pop up just under the corner of my mouth that was followed by some more. They have no texture; there is no burning or itching, and no dryness. After this, the area around my nose became quite dry and bumpy as well as the skin between my nose and mouth but I still didn't experience any sensations other than dryness. These dry areas weren't red, they were slightly pink but basically skin colored.
Hi there, the acne medication to combat MS news was first hitting online sites back in 2007....
"A clinical trial led by doctors Luanne Metz and Wee Yong shows the common acne medicine minocycline can slow the process of MS" https://www.thestar.com/life/health_wellness/2007/10/26/acne_drug_enlisted_to_battle_ms.
I seem to always be red across the nose and cheeks and it seems to be getting worse each year and I am beginning to notice some on chin and between eyebrows. I really havent been able to pinpoint triggers but have always blushed easily and have always gotten really red faced during exercise. Playing on tennis and basketball teams in H.S., I was quite the scarry tomato face! Anyway my question is if there is a possible connection with fungus or yeast? Any good tips on types of makeup?
Hello,
The primary treatment of perioral dermatitis is antibiotics. Treatment consists of oral antibiotics like doxycycline and minocycline and anti-inflammatory drugs. A mild soap or soap substitute, such as Dove or Cetaphil should be used for washing. Scrubbing should be avoided. You can also apply a hypoallergenic non perfumed moisturizer on the face.
If the symptoms persist then please get an evaluation done from a dermatologist.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
I went digging on the 'net about doxy vs minocycline for Lyme, and found this, on a site called eMedExpert (see especially the places below where I have put ==> arrows >> "Although doxycycline and minocycline attain comparable serum [meaning blood] levels, there are important differences in CSF [cerebrospinal fluid, meaning the fluid around the brain and spinal cord] and CNS [meaning central nervous system] concentrations.
It says that minodene belongs to a class of drugs called tetracycline and the active substance is minocycline as minocycline hydrochloride dihydrate. Still no difference to the result??
I have tried Doxycycline and it does not help (tried Minocycline, Tetracycline too, no luck). I have used lid scrubs and they only get rid of the flaking that I get around the eyelash line (I have Blepharitis too). I do take fish oil tablets on a daily basis, don't seem to make much difference tho.
It mostly effects women and appear around the nose, mouth and eyes. Treatment consists of oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. A mild soap or soap substitute, such as Dove or Cetaphil should be used for washing. Scrubbing should be avoided.
Doxycycline is the preferred antibiotic for perioral dermatitis but minocycline can also be used. In unresponsive and granulomatous forms, oral isoterinoin may also be considered. Pimecrolimus cream can also be used.
I was diagnosed with CRP after years of trying the shampoo and typical fungal treatments. I must be one of the lucky ones, because after seeing a dermatologist and getting on minocycline, I have been pretty much CRP free for about 5 yrs now. I have one little brown spot on each side of my armpit area, and that's it. Oh, and I only took the minocycline for about 6 months. I know for some people, they have to take it continually in order to prevent reoccurance.
First Tetracycline, then Doxycycline and finally, for the last 10 months, minocycline which I know can in rare cases cause some type of liver toxicity.
I have stopped the antibiotics and hope that clears up the problem. When or how long should I wait to start to be concerned?
Thanks so much.
Thanks for the input, Grace. Epididymitis is often caused by strains of chlamydia and gonorrhea, or by coliform bacteria in homosexual men. I posted here because I was curious if anyone knew about fluoroquinolone resistance in C. Trachomatis (levofloxacin vs. ciprofloxacin, bacteriostatic or bactericidal effects), or anything along those lines.
