No, Amoxicillin and Doxycycline are both antibiotics that are only effective at treating infections.

Learn more Amoxicillin details here.

Learn more Doxycycline details here.

They will not treat rashes or the like, as a matter of fact, they can cause them or worsen them due to their own side effects.

A rash is usually due to some type of skin irritation or allergy and, if it doesn't go away on its own in a few days or if it gets worse, then you should seek appropriate treatment for it.

Is there anything else I can help with?
