Hi,
Its good that you have withdrawn doxy.
The Benadril controls the allergic reaction within 2 days,the doxy is completely out of system in about 8 days.
You have rash all over body,It's a severe allergy > You will need additional medicines for control.
Visit a physician for proper evaluation of condition. He may add short course of cortisones ,if he feels it to be necessery.
Thanks.
