Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
I can understand your concern regarding the skin lesions.
From the description I can think of two differential diagnosis:
1. Urticaria or also known as hives and its pretty common after antibiotics.
2. Tinea or also known as ringworm infection.
Its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.
You can reach me directly through the below mentioned link.
