What Causes Diarrhea And Rashes On The Face?

Hi. I am having some form of diarrhea for a couple of days and a face rash (around the sides of the nose and on the lower forehead). I just finished recently a cure of antibiotics (amoxicillin) and a few days of corticosteroids after I was diagnosed with a strep throat. Should I go for another doctor s appointment or should I just buy some type of over the counter cream (like hydrocortisone cream)?
