No, never heard of it. Once heard of a skin condition where the pharmacist mixed up a special compound with antibiotics in it that was to be applied to dressings that were packed into a bedsore on a patient's bottom that had diptheria germs in the bedsore (it was cultured). The liquid had to be kept refrigerated. So it might be possible to get a compound specially made up by a pharmacist. The doctor would have to be knowledgeable enough to figure out how to write the prescription for the compound (dermatologists are probably best at this, but compounds are becoming an old timey thing)...

RE:

doxycycline is a pill and it works by killing the bacteria that causes acne. However, even though they don't have that kind of cream, a gel or cream that does kil the bacteria topically is benzoyl peroxide. try a mild formula like 2.5 percent and then moisturize to prevent dry skin and flakiness. you can buy the benzoyl peroxide gel at www.acne.org

Nope. There's an old teracyline cream, but they took it off the market. Sorry.

I've been a nurse for 30 years and I've never heard of it.
