Hello,
Minocycline (INN) is a broad-spectrum tetracycline antibiotic and is not a steroid.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
