what are the side effects of taking allopurinol like zyloric to reduce uric acid in blood and doxycycline?

Doxycycline and allopurinol both can cause minor rashes and, rarely, exfoliative dermatitis. Exfoliative dermatitis and seborrheic dermatitis can look similar–producing red, scaly patches of skin. In some cases, exfoliative dermatitis can be *caused* by underlying seborrheic dermatitis.
Seborrheic dermatitis doesn’t affect the chest as often (except right down the center sometimes). Does the rash itch? Seborrheic dermatitis usually doesn’t itch very much, while exfoliative dermatitis does. Also, do you have any systemic symptoms? Exfoliative dermatitis often is associated with fevers, chills, and/or generalized weakness.
The distinction is important because the treatments for the two conditions are different (although, as I mentioned earlier, it is possible to have both). If your rash is minor, you may not require any treatment at all (just discontinue the doxycycline or wait out the 14-day course).
