Hi,
Yes Doxycycline needs to be stopped and safer alternatives like penicillins like coamoxiclav or azithromycin may be used instead. OTC analgesics like acetaminophen can be used if pain or inflammation is pronounced and anti histamines like loratidine may be safer than others for itching. A detailed dermatologist review and local examination is recommended.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
