Is Using Levaquin Safe To Treat Blister Like Rashes On Skin?

I had a rash, for lack of better way to describe that appeared overnight. Looks like a scabbard area like you would see if you fell on rough concrete. Slightly sore, sensitive. Wondering if it was blisters that scabbef over. On Levaquin, want to make sure not a side effect. And should I call my doctor.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain in case if you have got the eruption of rashes after taking Levaquin that contains Levofloxacin as active ingredient then it can be due to side effect of antibiotic..
You can consult an Allergist and get evaluated and a clinical evaluation and allergic tests like Prick test, Patch test and RAST test can be diagnostic..
In case of allergic reaction stoppage of taking Levaquin and substituting with other antibiotics along with taking anti allergics like Benadryl or Levocetrizine can relieve..
Apply Steroid ointment over rashes..
Do cool compresses..
Apply Calamine lotion for soothing skin..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
