What Causes Hives On Stomach And Back While On Doxycycline?

I just started taking doxycycline for a possible scabies outbreak. I now have hives on my stomach and back in the areas where I don t have bites. Am I allergic to the medication or the cream they had me use overnight that I wash off after 8 to 14 hours.?
