I am struggling! I now have a rash on my hands and both my feet. When I google it, it looks just like a doxy rash. I had been on doxy for about 10 weeks. My Llmd had me go off doxy for about 6 days. The rash is worse now. He wants me to go off ceftin and back on the doxy to see if the ceftin is causing it. Meanwhile I am freaking out because this rash is horrible. Does anyone have experience with this? Does a doxy rash go away? My Instinct is that it is a doxy rash because it looks just like a classic one.

I got a rash on my hands from levaquin. However that was months ago. My doc gave me a shot. That seemed to clear it up for the most part but it's still there.

I don't know much about this but what comes to my mind is if it is possible that it comes from something else? Have you introduced something new in your life? Not necessarily meds or food, but for example new shampoo or shower gel?

Rash is a side effect of doxy. I haven't looked up Ceftin side effects, but it's probably a side effect as well.


Rashes can also be from herxing. do you have any other herxing symptoms?

I think you should stop and let it clear up...

It should go away if it's a side effect of the med.

Girlie I agree I am tempted to just say no to all abx for right now.

My body is in a weirdo state right now where things that I used to have no problem with break me out. Food, over the counters, etc... maybe an elimination diet/med regiem and add them in one set a time. I just looked up the rash. My kid gets that same rah from foods.
