doxycycline and sun exposure

It can take a couple weeks to clear up. Most cases are harmless, but do your best to avoid sun exposure and/or use a strong sunblock (30+ spf). See a dermatologist if it hasn't started to clear up in the next few days, or any time if you think it's actually getting worse.

Hi, Are you talking about a malignant nodule in the lung? The exposure from the sun will place you at risk for cancers of the skin. While there are cancers of the skin that would have a tendency to metastasize the lung (melanoma), these would usually have a preliminary finding in the skin.

either ceftriaxone (Rocephin) or doxycycline would abort incubating syphilis, and the two together guarantees syphilis would be eradicated. I suggest you lay off the internet. You're obviously very anxious about all this, and in that state of mind you will only find information to inflame and prolong your fears. All is well; nothing bad is going to come from this.

I was on tx. during the katrina nightmare, heat and sun exposure gave me the worst rash and caused a tremendous amount of itching. Stay out of the sun and heat while on tx.

Sunscreens, particularly those that protect against ultraviolet A and B light waves and have a sun-protecting factor (SPF) of 13 or higher, are recommended for all people with rosacea. It would be advisable to consult a skin specialist for this and then decide the cause and further plan of management. Let us know if you need any other information. Regards.

s genital secretions and menstrual blood with intact skin of your penis, groin, etc; the doxycycline would have cured any and all likely infections from such exposure, with the exception on herpes (which your test results prove you didn't catch); and your repeated testing -- with far more tests than warranted in this situation -- show you didn't catch anything.

I am very active outdoors and would hate to have to stay out of the sun. I use sun screens and still I get this condition.

I'm not an MD and not medically trained, but to my knowledge, doxycycline would not treat a yeast infection. Doxy is an antibiotic that treats only bacteria (including Lyme), not yeast (which is in the fungus family). In addition, antibiotics wipe out not only 'bad' bacteria but also the 'good' bacteria that protect your body against fungal infections. It may be that the receptionist at the MD's office got things confused. I would check to be sure.

actually sun is very beneficial to both you and baby, you need around 20 min of exposure to the sun everyday on your arms and legs, a little more if your dark skinned, your body gets its vitamin D from being exposed to the sun, otherwise you risk having vit D deficiency which isnt good, and you end up by having to take suppliments, just be sure that you dont go out in the hottest part of the day and if you do put on sunscreen :)

It is possible that you have/had sun poisioning. Any antibiotics will add to the harsh exposure of the sun. That is why they tell you to try to avoid the sun if you can or use a high level of sunscreen if you are out in the sun. If you are not feeling better soon, you should see your doctor. Please be careful while in the sun while on these medications. It can cause some major symptoms not to mention the higher risk of sun burn. Hope you feel better soon.

I contacted my LLMD and he started me on high doses of Doxycycline and took it for 3.5 weeks before I started to develop a rash on my arms. The left arm was worse from driving so I figured I would STOP the Doxy and DID. That was OVER a WEEK ago and I have STAYED out of the sun. My rash is increasing WORSE and SPREADING up my arm and down to my fingers! I went to my walk-in clinic and they wouldn't treat me ... said I needed to see the prescribing doctor of the Doxy!

I think you should first go to a doctor and get the lesion son your scalp examined. On the basis of that examination and diagnosis, a treatment may be offered. You may take that treatment and thereafter determine degree of benefit. Also find out the correlation between wheat and those lesions. What does the lesion look like? does it bleed or has pus discharge?

The best way to prevent milia is to avoid treating your skin with excessively harsh chemicals and to limit sun exposure. Also use good quality cosmetics and exfoliate your skin regularly. If still the symptoms persist then chemical peeling or laser removal can be done. I hope it helps. Take care and God bless.

This actually seems to be quite common, judging from comments of others online who have used Doxycycline and got caught-out by sun exposure. At least, I'm putting it down to that.

I have very fair skin and fair hair, whenever I'm out in the sun for a long period of time I seem to get sun poisoning even when I use sun block. Should I be concerned?

We are heading to Florida in two days and will be out in the sun alot. I wear sunscreen but am just curious if sun exposure will affect my scar. It seems like I read somewhere on there that it would by making it darker or taking it longer to heal? Please let me know what you guys know about this. I don't want to do anything that will extend the time it takes my scar to heal or something that makes it heal darker. Thanks guys!
