Skin flushing
Hi, I noticed that my upper chest skin is red for apparently no reason. Also I don't have any symptom other than flushing of upper chest. Some days ago due to some infection I took doxycycline for 8 days on doctor's prescription. During that time I noticed this flushing. What could this be? If this is side effects then how many days would it take to subside? If this is not a side effect of doxycycline then what could this be possibly?
