What Causes Sunburn On The Hands And Feet After Taking Doxycycline Hyclate?
I m currently finishing a round of doxycycline hyclate 100 mg and my hands and feet are quite sunburned after being outside for a couple of hours. This is unusual for me. My hands and feet are the only extremities affected. I read that this is a serious side effect. Please advise.

Hello,
The sunburn is the well-known phototoxicity of the side effect profile of the doxycycline. The same has to be reported to your consultant and be aware of second-time intake and exposing to the sun.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
