Suggest Treatment For Itchy Red Rashes On The Body
Painful, itching skin rash. Started with a small pin head bump and developed into a dark red oozing spots all over her body. Her three children have developed the same rash however her brother and myself have not had any symptoms. She has swelling at the affected areas and ran fever and some vomiting. YYYY@YYYY She has been to family doctor and Er they swobed to test rash but no results at this time. Antibiotics has not phased any of the symptoms.
A different type of antibiotic is likely needed because based on the history given, the symptoms are in keeping with a bacterial infection. The fact that it has spread to involve other persons also sounds like a bacterial condition.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
