What Causes A Severe Rash On The Body After Eating Berries?
Question: Hi I ate some kind of round berry like fruit in China which I bought in an unmarked supermarket Telco and one of the Chinese Teachers mentioned that they usually soak those in salt to get rid of the worms. Oh dear and this evening I noticed I had a terrible skin rash . Could it be from the fruit which I had eaten yesterday or as a result of antibiotics Cellon which I finished on Monday.
Sorry Cefzon is the name of the antibiotics. This android tablet misspelled.

Brief Answer:
Allergy to fruit
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
You finished antibiotic 2 days back hence chances of developing drug allergy is rare.
It's probably due the fruit You ate.
Take an antihistamine tablet and apply a mild steroid cream like cortisone twice daily for a week.
This should help you.
Don't have that fruit again.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
