HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you are on Doxycycline then it is advisable to avoid going in sun because it may cause the sun burn, now wait for some time say a week and it will be fine, have a word with doctor whether to start it again or not because if you have completed the course of it, then no need to have it again, hope this information may helps, take care and have a nice day.
