I'm really struggling with severe acne on my face and scalp, and the pain is unbearable, especially at night. My doctor put me on ciplox 500 and sotret 20 mg. I understand that sotret might make my acne worse before it gets better, but I'm wondering if I can switch from ciplox 500 to minoz 100 since minoz has worked well for me in the past. I just want to find a permanent solution to this acne because the pain and swelling, especially on the left side of my face, are really tough to deal with. What do you recommend?

For your acute acne, your doctor prescribed Ciplox 500 (ciprofloxacin) and Sotret 20 mg (isotretinoin).
While Minoz 100 (minocycline) may have been effective for your acne in the past, it's essential to follow your doctor's current prescription and guidance.

I've got these tiny dots all over my face, kind of like little bumps and they're not quite like pimples. They're all over, but especially on my nose. My skin's super sensitive, so most creams and meds just don't work for me. I'm really hoping to get clear and smooth skin without having a bad reaction. What do you think I should try?
