Hi dear ,

As per your query you have pimples and doctor prescribe you doxycline and BVC cream , which is causing problem . Well BVC cream is steroid cream which sometimes cause problem like reddish skin , flaky and peeling of skin as it side effects . In your case it seems to me that the problems are due to side effects of cream . I would suggest you to immediately stop using this cream and consult your dermatologist to discuss the condition with him . For now give cold compresses on skin , apply aloe vera gel take anti histamine like benadryl and drink at least 8-9 glasses of water .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
