Does Doxycycline Tablet Cause Itchy Rashes On Abdomen?
I have been taking doxycycline(sp?) to slow the swelling of my groin lymph nodes. Two days after taking the meds, I developed a rash on my abdomen, back, and thighs. The rash is itchy, there s redness, and sometimes I get sharp nerve pains. Today, the rash is becoming dry and flaky. Is this due to the medicine or is there something else?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is possible that it is an allergic reaction to the medication.
It would be best to contact your doctor regarding this reaction. He or she may suggest discontinuing this medication and using an alternative antibiotic.
The use of an oral anti histamine would help with the allergic reaction.
I hope this helps
