What Is The Cause Of Skin Rash?
Our family is all taking Malarone as we went to an island with the potential for malaria. We have all come down with various rashes. One on the back of the thigh (painful and two red stripes), the others behind the knees and in the armpits. This has never happened to us before. Could this be from the medication, sun, or something like ringworm or scabies?

Hi,
According to me, the rash is most probably due to the drug Malarone. I request you to visit your dermatologist to show the rash and to explain the drug history. He would treat the rash and give you an alternate drug for prevention of malaria.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
