Can I use Lobate GM on my face? I'm really upset because of all these pimples and black spots. I'm fair-skinned, but my face is just covered with them, and it's really bothering me. Do you think this cream could help?

It is best not to use Lobate GM on your face, especially for acne, due to the risks of side effects like skin thinning and worsening of acne

I've been dealing with acne and my dermatologist recommended a doxycycline lactic bacillus tablet for 60 days to take at night. I'm just wondering, is it actually safe to be on this medication for such a long duration?

Using doxycycline for 60 days to treat acne is generally safe for most people, but you should be aware of potential side effects like gastrointestinal issues, photosensitivity, and yeast infections. Make sure to follow your dermatologists instructions carefully
