Taking Minocin For Arm Pain. Have Rash On Wrist, Not Itchy. Side Effect?

Hi i have been taking MINOCIN for just over a week now, yesterday I got a throbbing pain in my right arm just for a short period and ive noticed a rash on it too starting at my wrist and travelling all the way up it in a weird pattern. Its not really itichy. I was just wondering if this is a mild effect or would I need to go back to my GP?
