Really.. see a doctor. This is not something yo want to continue dealing with or you could end up losing some or all of your hair! Call the doc who prescribed the antibiotic since there are a lot more meds that help with acne but don't have side effects this severe. He may just lower your dose, too!

Maybe ask your derm. for a different medication. Tetracycline is only one solution to many acne problems. I used to take the stuff, and I was getting bruises on my legs if they touched something. My dermatologist then put me on Keflex (which is an antibiotic) and gave me topical Retin-A and some other kind of cream to put on my face in the morning. It might be more of a pain to do it this way, but it might possilby eliminate your dandruff problem. Your derm. could also give you special shampoo and/or hairstyling products. (My friend had to do that for her psoriasis of the scalp.) Good luck!
