Schedule a dermatologist appointment if your psoriasis worsens while taking doxycycline, or if you experience new or unusual symptoms. This includes increased redness, swelling, pain, or scaling beyond your typical psoriasis presentation.
Contact your dermatologist immediately if you develop any signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of your face or throat, or hives.
If your psoriasis doesn’t improve after a reasonable trial of doxycycline (typically several weeks), discuss alternative treatment options with your doctor. They can assess your response and adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
Regular follow-up appointments with your dermatologist are crucial while using doxycycline for psoriasis. This allows for monitoring of your condition and medication side effects.
If you experience any unexpected side effects from doxycycline, even seemingly minor ones, report them to your dermatologist. This is vital for your safety and effective management of your treatment.
Always inform your dermatologist about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, before starting doxycycline for psoriasis. This ensures a safe and well-managed treatment strategy.
