What Causes A Spreading Red Rash Below Breast, Stomach And Back?

Posted on Mon, 4 Apr 2016

Question: Hello, I'm XXXX wife, XXXX. I wake up this morning with a slight red rash, no bumps or blisters, right below my breasts. I just got home from work and looked in the mirror and the rash has spread all over my stomach including both breasts and a little on my back. It looks like the rash I get when I take amoxicillin. No itching or pain. What do I need to do.

Stop amoxicillin immediately.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having amoxicillin induced skin allergy.
So better to stop amoxicillin immediately.
You need antihistamine and steroids tablet to suppress this allergic reaction..
Steroid cream is also useful for local application.
Don't worry, within 1 week, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.

I'm not on Amoxicillin or any other medicine that it. I believe it's an allergy but not sure what it is.
