I have a rash that is purplish brown in color that started on my upper arm and now has spread to my stomach and breast. Urgent care gave me an antibiotic and said I have a slight infection, but now I have blisters on the one on my abdomen and it s itching.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible that you do have an infection, this can cause your symptoms, but because the symptoms have progressed, it would best to be reviewed by either your doctor or a dermatologist.

In addition to the antibiotics, other medication may be needed as well.

I hope this helps
