    Does anyone have any suggestions to help with graying skin from using minocycline. I have been on it for 12 years and have now two places on my face and a place on my leg.

    Hi Rose,

    Have you considered talking with your prescriber about rotating to a different tetracycline for a while? Also do you take daily ascorbic acid/Vitamin C?

    Maz I take Vit. C 500mg. daily, and they could not get my Watson brand when I recently had to refill my prescription and they gave me Zydus, hope it works.

    I had this issue on my shins for a short time. I switched to doxycycline for 6 months, added 1000mg Ester C with K2 and it has never returned.
