its a wierd new sensation...sort of pins and needlely but on the outside and very light
is it some kind of neuropathy?
the first two days i noticed at dusk and it felt like a gentle mist on my hands but the starss were out and no clouds...
today it is stronger and more itchy...but today i was in sun and i am on doxy and my face is just plain red so it could be related to that...
is this part of raynauds?

Why are you in the sun if you're taking doxy?
Some people get horrible sunburns on doxy. Also, don't drink orange juice, as that may make it worse.

Oh, that's Doxy (IMO). I hated that feeling. Get off Doxy if you're going to be in the sun. LLMD should have a replacement.

I agree, I think you are feeling a doxy sun sensation. Does it sort of feel like it is raining on you? A bit cold? That's my cue that I'm in the sun and need to get out.
