Hi everyone does anyone know what this rash is
It started last night and in morning it was all over my body and lips started to swallow up ! I got these tabs of chemist for hives like the paramedic said on phone because my Dr will not do tests he just thinks it these antibiotics I finish yesterday . It's hot to touch and itchy got cream also but it's horrible only health problems I have is anemia and kidney stone forming
Anyway anyone know what it is , thanks

I am allergic to penicillin and get a similar rash if I take it. It may be worth getting this checked out as a penicillin allergy can mean that you must not be prescribed them again.

Ouch. That does look sore and itchy. I hope
It goes away soon.

It does look like hives which is an allergic reaction. I get it from antibiotics too. I expect the chemist gave you antihistamine tablet and anti itch cream. The first antihistamines I had didn't work so if yours don't go back to the chemist and ask for further advise. It gets worse when you get warm I found I had to sleep with out any covers. I keep a list of the anti biotics I've reacted to in my purse and in the back of my address book so that I can make sure I don't get prescribed them again. I hope it clears up quickly for you.
