I started taking Dox. because I lost my baby.. and my doc. prescribed it to me so i wouldn't get an infection. Im only supposed to take it for ten days.. its day seven and I have this burning sensation that is on my hands.. My hands are all red where its burning me.. The odd thing is it started with my knuckles.. and now it has spread. The weird part is that Its only on the tops of my hands.. I talked to my Pharmasist.. and he said that it was a rare side effect.. I have never heard of an ANTIBODIC that would make your hands burn.. I stopped taking it because my hands are litterally on fire.. If anyone else has gone through this please tell me what you have done to get them to stop burning.. I tried Aloe.. and it worked for ten minutes.. cold water makes it worse along with hot water.. putting pressure helps for a few seconds.. the only releif that I have found is blowing cool air on them..

I am not sure if you found out what caused this problem, but I started taking doxycycline 3 days ago and my hands are burning as well - mainly near the knuckles and it is driving me crazy!!!

I had the same burning feeling on my hands and feet. I thought both were on fire and my two pointer fingers are red, hot and blistery. I also have pins and needles, feel like my hands, feet, legs and arms have ben gay on them and other times are burning and feel like it is raining on me too. I am being treated for erichliosis and lymes disease...wasn't sure if disease or meds doing it.

I have been on Dox (possible Lymes) for three weeks and also have the burning feelings in my hands. I feel the exact way giggingirl feels.
I talked to the Doctor he said that was not from the Dox. I know he is wrong!! I have 1 more week of the Dox to go. I hope we all get over this soon!
