Been taking Doxycycline orally and Epiduo once a day for about 7 weeks now. I've noticed that the last 4 or 5 weeks my nose has turned pretty red and it's depressing because it really bothers me and everyone keeps asking me why is it red.

 

Anyone else have this happen to them? Looking for some answers on how to get rid of it and if anyone else has even had it before?

Documented side-effect of Epiduo, a bit of a double whammy because it's Benzoyl Peroxide + Differin, and both increase redness by themselves, put them together on the sensitive skin on your nose and there you have it.

 

There's really nothing you can do to get rid of it except apply the Epiduo less often and keep your skin moisturized.
