Brief Answer:
Allergic skin rash ,need treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached pictures .
You seem to have developed an allergic rash called urticaria.
Apply a topical steroid cream like cortisone cream over the affected areas twice daily.
Take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl or levocetrizine along to relieve the associated itching and allergy .
Do not apply any other cream or oil over the affected area.
Avoid intake of any other antibiotics or pain killers since they may increase the rash.
You might need a course of oral steroids if the rash tends to increase or persist.
