I have been taking doxycycline 100mg for 10 days and i am going on holiday in 11 days will i be able to go in the sun then?

Should be safe: Doxycycline can cause photosensitivity (increased susceptibility to sunburn), but usually it does not. If you've had it before and know you are susceptible, or if still concerned, you probably can go in the sun with a strong sun block cream. In any case, the drug should be gone and no risk a week or so after the last dose. Enjoy your holiday!
