Itchy, blotchy skin (because of medication?)?

I'm taking minocycline for acne and I have been for about 2-3 weeks now. Up until yesterday, no problems. But yesterday I started feeling very itchy and i started getting blotchy all over my body. An effect of an allergic reaction to this drug is itchiness... Could it be possible that I am allergic to it even though nothing happened for the first 2 weeks? I'm supposed to take 2 capsules per day, should I stop for a couple days and see what happens? Advice please? .

Answer

 

 

I use foundation. Covergirl has a big selection. Before you put the foundation on, I would recomend you moisturize your skin (with some lotion) 20 minutes (or 10 at least) before applying so the foundation doesn't get patchy.
