Just wanted some feedback before I contact a doctor...I'm on Doxy, Zith, Mepron and some suppliments...last week i was on vacation at the beach...I stayed out of the sun as much as possible, but got a mild burn...starting yesterday I have a really red, itchy rash all over my hands and a little on my arms...looks like tiny red bumps clustered together...it's not raised just dots on skin...I don't know if sun has anything to do with it or not...and I don't think I would be having any allergic reaction...tried some anti-itch cream but it doesn't do anything...any feedback would be appreciated...thanks,

Doxycylcline can make a person sunsenstive. you can get a very very bad burn very easily. weren't u warned by ur dr or pharmascist.

I would call the dr about ur sunburn and rash.

I was warned...and I put sunblock on and stayed covered up...I got a mild burn...nothing bad, but maybe that is what is causing the rash.

How long have you been on the mepron? That drug also commonly causes rashes.

I get that & unable to get any doxy or help.
Think just part of 1 of our symptoms if read the list. Prob. linked more to illness. Irritating try not to spread when itches. Just 1 of our many side effects of this crud. It is on Lyme & linked to many times syphilis, which we fall in between of. Take care,Huggggsss,Kerryblue
