Hello, i have been on doxycycline for 1 month. i also leave for vacation in 1 month. will i be fine in the sun?

Be Careful: Doxycycline (tetracycline) will make you skin more sensitive to sunlight and increase your risk of skin irritation (rash, itching, redness, sunburn, etc.). You should stay protected while in the sun.

Doxycycline makes one’s skin more sensitive to the sun, which increases the risk of getting a sunburn and other skin reactions like redness, itching, and blistering. To protect one’s skin, a person should avoid direct sunlight as much as possible, wear clothing that blocks the sun from her skin, and frequently apply sunscreen to any skin that is not covered.
