What Causes The Legs To Turn Black?

My 3 yr old daughter took amoxicillin for 7 days and then broke out into a rash. She saw the doctor and she advised that she needed to take benadryl. This has helped her upper half but her legs are now turning black. Can you please assist on why this would happen?

Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

Some child are allergic to amoxicillin and Most probably it is allergic reaction to amoxicillin
However rashes will take some time to go completely but as you said that legs are turning black so either the allergic reaction is still undergoing or there are some other medical conditions which may causing bruising (some time low platelets count due to some underlying medical conditions leads to bruise under skin and needs medical attention)

so i would strongly suggest you to see Your dr to rule out the exact pathology

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
