Brief Answer:
penicillin can be the cause.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.

In my opinion your wife is having skin problem due to penicillin.
Penicillin Is very notorious in producing skin lesions.
So this may be the cause.

But I want to know few things first.

1. Since how many days she is taking penicillin?
2. Does she have redness or itching or swelling at painful skin site at hands and arm?

Please reply me answers of these question, so that i can help you better.

I will be happy to help you further.
Wishing good health to your wife.
Thanks.
