Hello, Adeline! How are you?

The acne may return, but many people do manage to clear it up permanently using an antibiotic like this for several months. Usually, they're prescribed for about 3 to 6 months. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Is there anything else I can help with?
