Hello,

I would recommend you to take capsule Doxycycline once daily, tablet Levocetirizine once daily at bedtime and topical steroid like cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
