Recurred Severe Acne. History Of Using Clidamycin Phosphate Solution. On Doxycycline. Continue Treatment?

Hello, pls am having severe acne rebound. I hate it which is only natural. I used clindamycin phosphate topical solution for a long time and I had to stop because I found out it shouldn't be used long term. That is what is causing the rebound. Am on doxycycline for 3months. My worries are, will the rebound clear in that 3 months and can I just stick wit only using doxycline without having to rub any lotion such as retin A on my face because my face is under so much stress from all the things I have rubbed before and I want to give it a break. Thanks
