Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Minocycline

default
Posted on Sat, 10 Jun 2017
Question: Hey doctor I recently stared Minocycline 2 days ago, but I have just started to get some form of rash out of the blue that wasnt there this morning. I have attached images of it but it seems to be little clumps of red marks on my right arm that I first noticed when my arm started to randomly itch under my jumper. I have attached images of it below. Should I stop taking the tablets for now or keep going or could it be somethig else that is causing the rash? I was also having stomach upset from the Mino as well.

Brief Answer:
Stop minocycline. Report to you doctor!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed the attached images. These are well documented side effects of mimocycline. I will suggest that you stop this drug and inform your doctor. I will rather see this drug substituted by another than allow it to continue.

In all, stop the drug and report to your doctor. This is an allergic reaction. A new drug should be considered.

I hope this guides and helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
