A member asked:
Should i worry about minor back pain, fatigue, and localized rash from doxycycline? the side effects are bearable and very minor.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rash: If you are getting rash from the doxy, despite Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) contact the prescriber immediately just so he is aware. You two can develop a plan regarding when to stop the drug. Go to ER if pain worsens, fatigue slides into exhaustion, or the rash increases over the surface area of your body or gets more severe. Given your h/o melanoma ?stage/?grade & fatigue, have lower threshold for working up back.
