What Causes Red Rashes On The Arms While On Doxycycline Hyclate?
I take doxycycline Hecate. I had MRSA very bad in 2010. My infectious disease doctor and Ortho surgeon told me I have to take it the rest of my life. For some reason the past month and a half I break out in a red rash on my arms, neck, and my feet if I am not wearing socks. Could this be because of the doxy heclate?

Hi,
The symptoms can be related to an allergic reaction due to Doxycycline Hyclate. I suggest you use antihistamines and steroid lotion for local relief.
If the symptoms continue you should use prescribed corticosteroids.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
