It is a comman antibiotic known as "tetracycline". I doubt it is normal, but look up its adverse effect.(use google.)

LOL! I think if you went to a doctor, you would be laughed out of the building.

That's actually interesting... One of our local news stations had a story about how it's becomming increasingly popular for people to take their pets medications.

It's job was to kill the acne bacteria and it did so. It's was probably the medium which it was delived which dried out your skin and caused the hair to go.

Does "use as directed" mean anything to you?

Tetracycline is a normal human drug for acne. It was prescribed to me at some point. It's a mild topical in the world of acne medicine. But I don't recall it removing hair. I wouldn't be too concerned at this point, but if the hair doesn't grow back, I'd check with a dermatologist. Yay for no pimple though. ;-)

After a little thought on this, the drug is designed to dry out the treated area as well as inhibit oil production in those glands. Maybe the dry skin was an unsuitable environment for your hair and decided it would go away?

The bald spot has NOTHING to do with the CTH..... that i can guarantee, unless you are one in six billion...

have a testosterone checkup, you more likely have more DHT than necessary... real men... you know... like me, don't bother, we just shave it off and act like men... (that is, no whining)...

I accept that my male hormones makes my hair grow thin... i really do... I DO DAMN YOU!!!!!!!!! *cries*

The 3 weeks part caught my attention as being odd, too.

Agreed. Why did your dad put it in for you? Also, what the hell did he do, put it on once and then it was gone 3 weeks later or did he put it on every night for 3 weeks and then it was gone? ;)

Oh boy. Your weiner is gonna fall off. Say goodbye to the heterosexual lifestyle you were looking forward to. From now on, it's impotent S&M mental pleasures for you.
