Rash On Chest, Penis, Scrotum After Taking Doxycycline. Swollen Penis Skin, Patches On Glans. Taking Diphenhydramine

I took doxycycline for 3 weeks, 200 mg per day and developed a rash on my chest and now on my penis and scrotum . The skin on the penis is swollen and I have small patches on the glans . I was using diphenhydramine (benedril generic) for the itch but it hasn`t helped the swelling of the skin on the penis. Could I have developed a yeast infection?

Good day!

You might have developed an allergy to doxycycline. I suggest to stop doxycycline and why are you taking doxycycline? In a few days to weeks after stopping doxycycline the swelling and itchiness will go away. If it gets worse you might need to see an allergologist or a dermatologist cause there are fatal cases of allergies.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes.
