How does Lymecycline work?

Lymecycline stops the bacteria living on the skin, which is causing the acne inflammation from reproducing and increasing in numbers. One of the most common types of acne is associated with bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes which lives by feeding on the sebum produced in the skin’s sebaceous glands. The waste this bacteria produces as it feeds irritates the glands and inflames them, which results in the spots.

Alternative treatments to Lymecycline

It would be best to use Lymecycline after trying typical skin treatments available in gels and creams, also known as topical treatments. Lymecycline should only be used when all other acne treatments do not work.

Not only this, but even when using Lymecycline, you should continue using topical peeling and anti-inflammatory products, such as topical treatments containing benzoyl peroxide. In addition to benzoyl peroxide, you can use Differin or Epiduo. These treatments work differently from other antibiotics. Note that combining your treatments results in a more effective outcome.

However, if acne is severe, persistent, scarring, or causing significant distress, then you should consider consulting a dermatologist. In such cases, Roaccutane (isotretinoin) may be prescribed.
