A member asked:
On doxycycline for minor staph infection. rash coming up on neck. should i stop taking it? i have 3 days left of prescription should i try benadryl?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better stop: can be just an adverse drug reaction, not a true allergy to doxycycline, avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, call your doctor with such incident. You can take benadryl if you have itching or hives, but you need to see your doctor if this is the case, good luck
