Amoxicillin rash treatment
Common Questions and Answers about Amoxicillin rash treatment

My son had a bullseye rash about a month ago. We took him to the doctor and he prescribed amoxicillin 2x/day for 10 days. Yesterday my friend's son had the same rash and his doctor prescribed him amoxicillin 3x/day and said it had to be AT LEAST 14 days for lyme treatment. I looked online and that is what I found also. I am concerned my son was not on antibiotics long enough and that symptoms will show up later when it is harder to treat.
He prescribed Curam Duo Forte (Amoxicillin) 875/125g twice daily for 10 days. The rash appeared after my doctors visit but before I started the treatment. Although the rash has not advanced it is still present. So my questions are 1) would the Amoxicillin I took for the sinus issue would also treat syphilis if it is the cause of the rash? 2) if the rash is actually syphilis related and the antibiotic was affective in treating it how long does the rash hang around for?
I was diagnosed with a duodenal ulcer and have finished my course of antibiotics, however I'm still on Prevacid. I developed a rash on my forehead about two days into treatment, and it's still there. I thought at first it was the Amoxicillin, but I finished that about a week ago, and the rash is still there. Could the rash be from Prevacid?
If you have developed this rash since you have been taking the amoxicillin, then it is highly likely that the rash is a side effect of the amoxicillin.
If that is the case, then you should stop taking the amoxicillin.
Make a note of that so you remember that you have got a side effect from the amoxicillin and tell your doctor before he prescribes any medication to you that you have an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin so that he can prescribe a different medication.
After taking 3 doses of the amoxicillin she broke out in Hives on her hands, legs, and feet. She was taken off the amoxicillin but the rash has now continued for a week now. It will appear and last about 5 minutes and then it is gone. It almost looks like blisters coming up on her feet. I took her to the doctor again today (1 week later) and they told me that she has erytherma multiforme caused from the amoxicillin.
My Daughter took amoxicillin for 1 week for an ear infection. She woke up the day after her final dose with a Rash over her entire body. By day three they had turned into big swollen welts. It did not seem to itch or bother her but I took her to the doctor and they said it was just a side effect from the medication and should disapear in 4-5 days. Well it has now been a week and the spots are still there.

I have been on the same drug most of the year without any bad side affects. Besides the myeloma I am fit and healthy although the treatment does make me tired at times. My blood is tested weekly and nothing out of the ordinary has been noted.
Just over 7 weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex (both giving and receiving) with another man. We also masturbated our penises together for a few minutes. The room was well lit and I didn’t notice and sores on the mans penis or body.
I had sinus infection and got Amoxicillin for it. Had diarrhea, then a rash all over stomach, back, thighs, then yeast infection. I stopped taking the Amoxicillin and the doctor told my husband I was allergic to Penicillin.
A week later I vomited several times and had cramping (like the stomach flu) and now my forehead has broken out with an itchy ***** rash like poison oak! Could the rash be associated with the Amoxicillin or the Sinus infection?
I had unprotected exposure in Dec 2013, but all tests are negative except bacterial infection on penis. And also I was on antibiotics from last 10 days amoxicillin+Ciprofloxacin from 22_31 March , Just after 2 day of finishing prescription I developed these rashes. Please help me can it be any STD, I just feel very mild burning,irritation only.

Had severe reaction to Amoxicillin. Hives/rash progressed from a lesser rash. Extreme weakness partially attributed to mono. I was informed
that the allergy to PCN does occur oddly enough when one has mono and take the Amoxicillin. Then I had the joint pain after a week in the hospital.
It was a migrating arthritis that sometime occurs with the drug reaction to
Penicillin. Could you have had Mono?
I do have Arthritis years later but ostoarthritis now. Good luck.
I was put on an antibiotic and then developed an itchy rash on my joints, not the traditional lyme rash. The rash is odd because it is fairly localized and comes and goes sporadically. As a nurse myself, I knew it was not an allergic reaction to the antibiotic but agreed to be switched to another antibiotic. Needless to say that did little to help with the rash.
Week before diagnosis, was on amoxicillin for suspected strep. Cue a terrible full body rash that appeared yesterday as a result of taking the amoxicillin while mono positive. I understand it will eventually go away, but I was wondering how long that might be and if there is any way to lessen the severity of both the itchiness/burning as well as the appearance. It's not pretty to look at for sure. Any advice/insight would be very much appreciated!
Just in case, I was taken off the Amoxicillin but the rash keeps increasing. The rash started as small tiny red dots across my abdomen and has spread. It is profuse on my knees, lower back, stomach, and very bad on my arms. The tiny red spots grew larger to now where on my arms it's a solid red mass, in other spots they almost look like rings as you can see in the photo. The skin is slightly raised, somewhat itches, and feels like a sunburn that burns and is hot to the touch.
my daughter tends to break out at random (she is 2) but the rashes / hives goes away after a couple of hours. We still have no idea what the allergy is.
Now she was diagnosed with an ear infection yesterday, she didn't see her normal doctor because her normal doctor was out of town, which is fine, I know the other doctor.
the doctor gave her amoxicillin for her ear infection.
amoxicillin (10 days) seemed to work then on day 9 of treatment rash returned. We started azithromycin (3 days) thinking it developed resistance to penicillin. One dose of azithromycin made a HUGE difference. Now on our second dose of it and the rash has returned again to his bottom! UGH!! About to go insane.
When the amoxicillin wasn't working I did some research. Saw that many times a disorder called Kawasaki syndrome it presents identically to scarlet fever.
They figured out my brother had mono that way, they thought it was an infection, he took amoxicillin abs broke out in a rash.
It is now Saturday, my daughter was diagnosed with strep throat Wednesday night and started amoxicillin in the urgent care, Friday afternoon she broke out in a itchy rash...mostly on her torso but some on her legs, neck, and arms. She has been on amoxicillin several times before from ear infections when she was little. The only difference with that is it is no longer pink (the amoxicillin).
I just got done with a prescription for 875 mg of amoxicillin twice a day for 10 days. Will that cure chlamydia and gonorrhea??
What's the earliest anyone has experienced symptoms? Overall pain (hit by a train), overwhelming fatigue, stiff neck, low grade fever? I was bit 3 times - have 2 rashes.They are all in the same area on my back and I didn't know they were there until my husband saw the rashes and one tick. Dr says it looks like 2 ticks were involved. If so, one got away on its own. I was on doxycycline but had an allergic reaction so I'm now on amoxicillin.
Yeah, I totally understand how tempting it is to associated a cause and effect relationship with the Amoxicillin and the rash/itch. Certainly this, like all medications (and most foods), seem to cause some allergic or allergic-type reactions in a small percentage of people. But once the drug has been eliminated by the body, the source of the reaction is gone and so goes the reaction. Could you have something going on that is so rare that we don't entirely understand it?
