Sunburns symptoms and conditions

ive been on Yasmin for about 3 years now because it clears up mah acne...but now i don't know if it's good for me. the first side effect ive noticed about a year after was that i get really burnt when i go out in the sun... and this is even with sunscreen! i get red rashes and my face gets swollen... at the time i thought that was just heat rash and didn't think much of it. now about 3 yrs later, i got a really really bad sunburn which resulted in huge blisters, and this scares me. I used sunscreen and my doctors said it couldn't have been just the sun so they are still trying to figure out what caused the burn...however after reading this thread im starting to think that Yasmin was the cause of it coz i never used to get sunburn before i started taking the pill... i grew up in a place where its Summer for almost a whole year so its really crazy to think that i would get burnt this much just for staying out in the sun! this past year ive also started gaining weight and now my sex drive is just gone... i thought it was me but i couldn't understand why that would be...now it all make sense...

I have been taking Doxycycline for about a month now for adult acne. I have pretty fair skin and I live in Florida so I always wear plenty of sunscreen. Since I have been on this medication I have gotten 2 pretty bad sunburns (even though I was wearing 30 SPF sunblock) to the point where my skin has a constant tingly sensation that doesn't go away for a few days. I don't think it's worth it to take this just to treat acne, but at the time it sounded better than Accutane!
