What Causes Blotchy Rash On The Leg With Chest And Throat Infection?
I m taking 3x 500g amoxicillin for a severe chest & throat infection. After 24 hours I noticed a blotchy but pain free rash on my upper legs. This dies down during the course of the next day. After 3 days the rash is now starting to feel burning and itchy around my wrists and top of my feet. Not sure what to do
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of blotchy rash on the leg with chest and throat infection which seems to be due to allergic reaction, angiomas, and due to certain systemic pathology.
Need not to worry. I would suggest you to maintain proper hygiene. You should take antihistamine like benadryl and avoid applying any cosmetic. Apply only petroleum jelly . You should consult dermatologist for proper examination . Doctor may order skin test or allergy test along with blood test . Doctor may prescribe immunosuppressants along with antibiotics and anti inflammatory and corticosteroid ointment. You should drink plenty of fluids.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
