Don't use it orally. Topically however, it's fine, at least in my experience. It helped a lot with my cystic acne.

It is an antibiotic so it can mess with your digestive system. It didn't stunt my growth, but I took it topically, so it was just localized on my face. I have no idea if it stunts your growth with the oral route, but I wouldn't recommend using any sort of acne treatments like that until you're fully developed. Acne goes away for most people in their early 20s anyways, no point in risking it while you're still growing.

I used a topical cream and it didn't stunt growth Im 18 6'1. but it didn't do shit for my acne, most topical creams didn't help at all. If you've had acne for 1 year+ and its not gone away hop on antibiotics/accutane

Sucks being in the not “most people” category and still having acne in your early 30s since 16 after trying every treatment
