okay so im 15 and i've been on oral anti-biotics for about 6 months (minocycline, tetracycline)....ive been on a regimen of differin in the morning, tetracycline twice a day, and clindoxyl gel at night for about 3 months. It has worked pretty well allthough i still have bad acne but i can see a difference every week so im not worried. ive developed a really bad itch all over my neck when i excersize and i dont know why. There is no rash or redness or anything but whenever i do sports or workout it itches like crazy...i was wondering if anybody knew how to explain this?

You may have an underlying infection of another type (fungal, yeast, bacteria that the antibiotic doesn't target) or you may have developed a sensitivity to something. It's always a good idea to contact your doctor when you have itchiness while taking an antibiotic (or any type of medication, actually).
