Do you think that it is possible for Oxytetrcycline (Acne Tablets) to cause Cholinergic Urticaria. I have been on these for aout 5 months now and the itchyness/pricklyness started at around the same time I started taking them. Just curious because I read somewhere that Anti-Biotics might cause a blockage to the sweat glands.
Response: Hivesguy:
If there is something in it that is causing your body to react, it is possible that an acne medication could cause hives, cholinergic urticaria, and other skin issues. I haven’t heard anyone else mention an acne medication causing hives, but I do know that hives in general can be caused by just about anything.
If you suspect acne treatment or a facial cleanser is causing hives, you may want to consider stopping it or switching to another kind.
