Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this bumps that you have reported. Doxycycline has been reported to cause rash on the skin. This is however rare and generally does not require any specific treatment. However, if this is extensive, I will suggest that you stop taking the drug right away an stalk to your doctor about this so that he may review the treatment and consider other options.
When taking doxycycline, it is advised to drink much water and avoid sun exposure as this increases sunburns. Please, drink at least 1.5Liters per day and avoid excessive and unnecessary sun exposure. Also, wash the hair with an antiseptic lotion like Dermobacter(Chlorhexidien) or iodine.
I hope this addresses your query fully. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
