Hi,

Yes, amoxyclav can cause allergic rash. As per the history you seem to have developed fungal infection of head of the penis and the foreskin. I advise you to use over the counter antifungal creams such as clotrimazole or miconazole over the affected area once daily for at least 7 to 10 days. Maintain good hygiene, wash the penis with warm running water and dry it carefully, and wear loose fitting cotton undergarments to keep the genital area dry and cool to stop the itching.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
