If you have been taking Microdox for years and still have folliculitis marks, it may be because long-term antibiotics alone don't always clear old scars or prevent new flare-ups. Folliculitis can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or skin irritation, and sometimes other treatments like topical creams, antiseptic washes, or dermatology procedures are needed. See a dermatologist to review your treatment and get a plan to reduce marks and prevent new ones.

Understanding Folliculitis and Its Marks
- Folliculitis is inflammation of hair follicles, often leaving marks or scars after healing.
Role of Doxycycline and Lactobacillus Acidophilus
- Doxycycline treats active bacterial infections; lactobacillus supports gut health during antibiotic use.
- These do not address post-inflammatory marks or scars.
Reasons for Persistent Marks
- Marks may be due to hyperpigmentation or scarring, not resolved by antibiotics.
- Resistant bacteria or incomplete infection treatment could be factors.
Alternative Treatments for Marks
- Consider topical treatments like retinoids or lightening agents.
- Procedures such as chemical peels, laser therapy, or microneedling may help.
- Use sun protection to prevent pigmentation worsening.
Recommendations and Next Steps
- Consult a dermatologist for evaluation.
- A tailored treatment plan may be needed for mark reduction and skin healing.
