I've been taking doxycycline and lactic acid bacillus capsules for acne, 100 mg daily for a month now. But every time I take them, I get really dizzy and feel super weak. The nausea gets pretty bad, and I often have to lie down right away. Is this the right dosage for me? It doesnt seem normal to feel like this. What should I do?

Discuss these side effects with your prescribing doctor. In the meantime, you can try taking doxycycline with food to see if it helps reduce nausea. If the symptoms persist, your doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication.

I've been dealing with oily skin and acne for a while now, and it always seems to leave scars behind. On top of that, I had pox a couple of years ago, and that also left scars. I'm really hoping to find a way to get rid of these scars. What can I do?

For acne and pox scars, consider using a gentle exfoliating routine with salicylic acid, and incorporate products containing vitamin C and retinoids to help fade scars. If the scars persist, a consultation with a dermatologist for treatments like chemical peels or microneedling might be beneficial.
