Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 I am currently on 100 mg. of doxycycline every other day. Since the hot weather began a month ago, I have noticed that my face is red more frequently and also more irritated. Last summer I was on minocycline and had little problem with the sun, heat, and humidity. I wear wide-brimmed hats and a sunblock of 60 spf. I also stay out of the mid-day sun but my skin is still irritated. Does being on doxycycline mean you need to avoid the sun at all times? Is there another antibiotic, besides minocycline, that makes you less photosensitive? Thanks, a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
