Red Rashes On Legs After Pedicure. Been Prescribed Cordran However It Has Worsened. What Could This Be?
I have bright red small round dot rash on both my lower legs. I noticed this after I received a pedicure where they used hot stones on my legs. I think I had shaved my legs that morning. I have it over 2 months & I thought it would go away. It did not so I went to a dermatologist 8 days ago & she gave me a RX for Cordran SP 0.05% Cream-apply twice a day. 2 days ago I noticed my rash was worst & now I have it on the backs of my upper arms. Would the cream make it worse? I also had been taking Amoxicillin 875mg twice a day for a sinus infection for 10 days and finished that medicine 3 days ago. Any connection?

Hi and thanks for the query,
it is important to exclude any infectious process that could be involved in this process. Considering that manipulation was made at the level of the skin, it is possible that a germ, skin located could cause such an inflammation. However, a proper clinical review is needed to determine whether this is simply due to irritating action of the pedicure process or products, or due to introduction of an infectious agent. It is possible that it could be an infection. I suggest you consult your doctor. Kind regards
