What Causes Rashes On The Body While On Antibiotics?
My fiance has been taking antibiotics for the last two months or so. Obviously taking each script at a minimum of ten days. He is do doctoring an ulcer on his leg. Yadda yadda yadda... he is suffering with terrible hives and itchy skin. Could this itching be caused by the antibiotic? (like a yeast infection).
