Avatar n tn I seem to be having a rash reaction to Doxycycline and have taken Benedryl...so far, no other symptoms after 10 hours. If I keep taking Doxy for the next 10 days, will my symptoms likely get worse or stay the same? With such a long half life, I'm likely to have this experience for several days anyway.
Avatar f tn m taking the Doxycycline a week now and I notice a white patch on tongue and a red rash-like spot on neck and face. Does it mean, that Doxycycline isn't effective on me? Please help...
Avatar m tn Now day 3 off meds and still have very uncomfortable rash all over. Could this be allergic reactions to doxycycline or a herx? Is it hard to tell the difference? Thank you for your insight.
Avatar m tn Hi all, recently I am having some rash on my chest and body. Before this, one month ago I have two encounter anal sex with someone at a dufferet time and both I was wearing a condom. The first one I ejaculate out of the body. The second one I ejaculate inside with a condom. I was afraid it may leak out from the outer barrier. And I have recieve unprotected oral sex too. I am now taking doxycycline which was for my acne and I want to know if it will cure syphilis if touch wood I got it.
Avatar n tn is it possible that the rash is the result of taking the Ofloxacin, and more specifically, perhaps the result of a build up of bacteria (yeast)? If so, will taking the Doxycycline clear up the rash, or will it just increase the amount of yeast bacteria build up, and thus worsen a rash that could be the result of excess candida in the body?
Avatar f tn How long does it take for the rash characteristic from secondary syphilis to go away? I have started 14 days of Doxycycline yesterday.
Avatar m tn I had a severe allergic reaction to doxycycline. I end up in hospital for 2 weeks. It started as itchy rash and quickly spread agross,my body swell and skin blistered and all my skin peeled in the end. Took me months to recover. In hospital they didnt understand what was going on. The condition was called TEN (Toxic epidermal necrolysis). I was blessed to come out of it alive. Hope your wife is well!
18610099 tn?1466272350 Recently I got a single tablet of Doxycycline. Then I've got a hard rash on my arm and leg. Then Dermatologist Rx me to get Loratadine 10mg.

19541290 tn?1479741797 Plus heart problems, breathing problems and joint pain that went away after 28 days of Doxycycline. The rash on my hands cleared up as well but about a month later the rash on my hands came back. And I feel a tightness in my chest again.
Avatar m tn How long does it take for a person on Doxycycline treatment (100 mg 2x day, for 14 days) for Secondary Syphilis (with rash but without visible ulcers) to stop being infectious? Namely, would I have been potentially infectious to someone 5 full days into the Doxy treatment? 2. How long can Syphilis bacteria survive outside the body (on say a wet glass of water which was either rinsed with regular water or cleaned thoroughly with a detergent after use)? Are we talking seconds, minutes or hours?
Avatar m tn Thanks for the follow-up. Doxycycline can certainly cause a rash of this sort. It is called 'fixed drug erruption" and they can take several days to resolve which sounds to be the case for you. Try not to worry.
Avatar m tn At that time I had no rash on the palms and soles. I had a rash on my arms and a very big pimple at the opening of my butt. I have recently been on doxycyline 100mg for 28 days for NGU. My question is : Are the symptoms I describe related to syphilis? If it were syphilis , would the RPR test detect it a such a late stage and will have the doxycycline cured it already? Do I need to do another confirmatory test for syphilis other than RPR?
18966962 tn?1472601945 I think the red rash is from use spraying the I use the restroom...I have been prescribed doxycycline hyclate 100 mg twice a day for a week then later 1g of azithromycin and a shot of rocephin. I have been tested twice both times negative for Chlymedia/Gonorrhea. Would those antibiotics cover most STIs as well? I know like NGU/Urithirtis/Vaginosis etc.. arnt covered in normal STD panels. Would those antibiotics cover most STIs that arnt included in standard STD panels?
Avatar m tn at this point I recommend seeing a dermatologist for the rash. too late for cultures if they suspect herpes but odds are it's something else going on from your description of things. probably a fungal infection going on too but certainly ruling out a bacterial skin infection and herpes is a good idea.
Avatar f tn I wonder how many people's Doxycycline treatment for an EM rash failed because they didn't know about avoiding dairy and calcium when taking each dose?!
Avatar n tn My mom also did lyme test right after the rash and fever, that came back negative. After just a few days doxycycline treatment, she does not have any symptom. Then in October, I want to make sure, she did a lyme test again although she does not have any symptom, but that came back positive.
Avatar m tn My regular doctor did give me a 3 day prescription for a yeast infection and told me to stop taking the doxycycline if the doxycycline was not helping within a week, wait a few days and then take the diflucan once a day for three days. Although he said I would have a rash if I have a yeast infection (which I don't) so he concluded I didn't have a yeast infection. I am going to see the urologist in about 2 weeks and I hope he does either the swab test or the cystocopy (if need).
Avatar m tn I have been to the doctor he really didnt know what it was said I tried everything, gave me doxycycline. The Doxycycline worked until I stopped taking it. I took a 6 day supply of prednisone and that worked until I stopped taking it as well. I am now using OTC 1% hydrocortisone cream helps but still there. Any ideas? PLEASE HELP!
Avatar f tn I was prescribed doxycycline for ureaplasma infection and developed a red, itchy rash over my face and body with the first dose. My doctor switched me to azithromycin, which I took without problems. A few months later the infection is back, and the doctor wants to try minocyline instead. I got a itchy rash on my chin and my neck and arms are somewhat itchy after one dose. Am I experiencing allergies to these drugs or just side effects? Should I avoid tetracyclines?
Avatar m tn In addition, as an uncircumcised man you have a slightly increased risk for fungal infection sunder the foreskin and the doxycycline also increases the risk for fungal infection. If the rash progresses, drug rash or fungus infections are good possibilities.
1289692 tn?1273147831 However, he did not answer my questions related to consistency of the rash. I am trying to tell myself that yes, it is from Doxycycline, however, when paired with the night sweats and the sore throat, it becomes a little hard to stay calm.
