Welcome to Healthcare Magic Forum
Your skin condition is kwown as URTICARIA, it is an allergic reaction. It is not incurable or permanent. But may take some time. You can try homeopathy , safely for any allergies.
Takecare.
Dear Rani, Welcome to Healthcaremagic!
My colleague is correct that you are suffering from urticaria, more specifically-- Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria. This is probably due to Levaquin. You can safely continue treatment prescribed by dermatologist as it is correct & safe.
PLEASE AVOID USE OF LEVAQUIN (LEVAFLOXACIN) & RELATED DRUGS FLUOROQUINOLONES IN FUTURE AS THERE MAY BE MORE SEVERE REACTION.
