Doxycycline, a derivative of tetracycline, is a common prescription medication for inflammatory acne. This antibiotic is effective in lessening the impact of the bacteria responsible for clogging skin pores and causing acne.
Body hormones increase secretions of sebaceous glands. Increased oil secretions clog skin pores leading to an overgrowth of normal skin bacteria-Propionibacterium acnes. This bacterium destroys the inner lining of your skin pore. This destruction allows dead skin cells to accumulate within the skin pore. The inflammatory response is acne.
