Guest guest Posted May 28, 2002 Report Share Posted May 28, 2002 I am currently on doxycycline (doryx), 100 mg. two days on and one day off and am gradually trying to lower my dosage. I live in a warm climate -- Atlanta -- and have noticed the past couple weeks when I am outside that my nasal area sometimes burns and feels hot and tight. I wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunblock with a 60 spf. I also try to avoid the midday sun but sometimes am out at that time. Last summer I was on minocycline and had few problems; however, I know that minocycline does not make one as photosensitive as doxycycline. Minocycline stopped working for me which is why I am now on doxycycline. Does this sound like rosacea progressing or drug-induced sun sensitivity? Please don't tell me to stay totally out of the sun as one of my greatest pleasures in life is riding my horse. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
