Taking Doxycycline For Insect Bite On Leg. Itching Blisters On Legs And Arm. Reaction To Medicine?

I have been on Doxy-CLCL HYCL 100mg for 10 days for a "suspicious" insect bite on my leg. Also, developed blister like patches spreading over both legs and rt arm with severe itching which dermatologist called an eczema. I have been on Clobetasol Propionate 0.05 oint., had a steroid shot, and been on Zyrtec. The "suspicious" bite disappeared and the blister patches are fading. Now I have a reaction on my arms and chin areas that have broken out in a rash. Could this be a reaction to the Doxy? I will admit, without thinking, did go out in hot sun to water few plants and excort the puppies outside at intervals which exposed those areas of my body.

Skin allergic reaction to a drug usually occurs in the first few days of taking the drug.In my opinion cetirizina 10 mg per day+Clobetasol 1 application per day can be used for treating your rash. Please go to your local doctor for exploration and prescription.
I wish you good health.
