Hi all

I've started to notice that when I apply pressure to the skin on any
part of my body and then remove this pressure - the skin stays white
for a short while (as skin does when it is sunburnt). I'm just
wondering if anyone else's skin also does this - and why this may be
happening.

I did take oxytetracycline for 3 years and am worried I am now
suffering from photosensitivity, which I have now read is one of the
possible side effects to this anti-biotic. Again, if anyone has had a
similar experience, I would be interested to hear your opinion.

Thanks

Rob
