Hello,
You had been taking Zerodol, it is Aceclofenac. Aceclofenac causes side effects like rashes, allergies, hives. You are experiencing the side effects of Zerodol. It seems you have sensitive skin, Augmentin and Chymoral Forte can also cause rashes and itching. To get rid of rashes and itching you can take antihistamine at bed time for 5-7 days.
Do not scratch, touch or pick, you can apply a thin layer of ointment hydrocortisone to get rid of itching. You should take bath regularly, use an antibacterial soap to clean yourself. Avoid use of perfumed body products. You can apply a thin layer of ointment Betnovate C on the area affected at bed time. The symptoms will reduce. Applying ice packs are also helpful.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
