Hi,

As you said,you have acne vulgaris on forehead. It is a multifactorial skin disease. There may be genetic tendency. Stress,anxiety,sleeplessness,oily skin, oily food,dandruff,drugs like steroid etc.. might cause acne. Proper care may be taken to improve the facial skin. Oilyness may be reduced by good face wash like acmed. Your doctor gave doxycycline..But, i prefer drugs like azithromycine or minocycline to be taken in proper dose for long time. Antibiotic gel like clindamycine gel may be applied on the lesions at night. You take treatment under observation of the dermatologist.I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
