Doxycycline-Induced Solar Urticaria: A Report of Two Cases

J Drugs Dermatol. 2015 Nov;14(11):1358-9.

Abstract

We report two cases of doxycycline-induced solar urticaria that developed shortly after initiation of therapy with persistence despite discontinuation. Consequently, dermatologists should be aware of the association between doxycycline and solar urticaria and counsel their patients on the potential for this side effect when prescribing doxycycline.
