I started taking Doxycycline the 5th of April because of a skin infection - all was well until I went on tropical vacation on April 15th and was sunburned while sitting in the shade. I stopped taking medicine and in a few days I was fine for the rest of the week - mostly staying in the shade but still getting a tan. I started back on the medicine on the 22nd and the following week I was burning and peeling around my mouth, lips, nose and hands. The knuckles of my hands had that burning cold feeling which left me feeling chilled. As of the 30th of April I have stopped taking the Doxycycline because my face was so red it looked purple even though I wasn't sunburned. I felt if I continued taking Doxycycline I would have no skin left on my face and hands. It's only been 2 days and I'm feeling better (no burning) already.
