Are Painful And Itchy Blisters In The Fingers A Side Effect Of Doxycycline?
I had taken doxycycline for three weeks for possible Lyme disease after having a tick removed which left a circle rash. Ten days later I have painful blisters on the side of four fingers as well as blisters near the nail beds of four toes. Could this be a skin reaction from th doxycycline? The blisters are very painful and started out very itchy and red

Hi,
The symptoms seem to be related to a fungal infection. It can be related to a the use of antibiotics. I recommend using an anti-fungal cream for local application such as Miconazole cream. Also recommend using Fluconazole one tablet a day for 3 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
