I'm really worried because since last night the glans of my penis has become swollen, and now the foreskin can't cover it. It's like the swollen part is sticking out past the foreskin. The sensitivity is intense and it's painful whenever I touch it. How long should I expect this swelling to last?

I've been dealing with acne and my dermatologist recommended a doxycycline lactic bacillus tablet for 60 days to take at night. I'm just wondering, is it actually safe to be on this medication for such a long duration?
