Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern for the safety of Macrobid.
Macrobid (Nitrofurantoin) is an antibiotic used to treat urinary tract infections.
You seem to have developed allergic reaction to it in the form of reddish rash on your neck.
Yes you are doing right thing by stopping Macrobid. Consult your doctor for the possible use of an alternate effective but a safer antibiotic to treat the infection.
Hope this will solve your issue.
