You won’t necessarily become resistant to it. I have taken doxycycline for years. When you become at risk of being resistant to an antibiotic is when it is misused. If you are taking it when you don’t need to be or if it is given because you were misdiagnosed, this adds to your chances of becoming resistant. Cephalosporins or broad-spectrum antibiotics like amoxicillin (waaaaaaay over prescribed) are among the first drugs for people to become resistant to. It is because people are given these drugs in clinics and such when they either A) don’t need them or B) needed a different type of antibiotic. In short, ha, I wouldn’t worry about it. There are many different treatments for acne, doxycyline is just one of the cheapest to prescribe.
