So last year around christmas I had a root canal done. And afterwards they gave me some antibiotics to take. And i started taking them, then next thing I know like a week later I break out in this itchy red rash ONLY across my chest. It was only in that area and it became red and itched constantly & also gets very hot like i could feel that area on my body is more hot than anywhere else. And then i look up the antibiotics they gave me and then BINGO! the side effects is "causes itchy red rash" And i thought omg thats it. So i stop taking them. And then with some creams it eventually went away. But now even though I haven't taken those pills since i continuously keep having the rash reoccur in the same spot. It goes away for 3 or 4 months then returns again. And I've never gotten any itchy rashes in my life till these pills from the dentist. Why wont it stop even though I stopped taking the pills long time ago? Please help!
I was really thinking it was the medication because that was when I first got the reaction. And then ever since those pills it goes away and then returns months later, then goes away again & then this vicious cycle continues. The pill is Amoxicillian. Btw, I looked it up online and thousands of ppl seem to be having the same problem. Breaking out either all over or in certain spots all due to amoxicillian. And it goes away and returns. Im nervous to go to a dermatologist. Never been to one before. Never had the need to go to one. Ive never had a rash in my life until these amoxicillian pills from last year. .I was trying to look it up online to see if anybody's look similar to mine. Most ppl's look much worse and severe...i think mine is more minor, but still irritating my chest none the less. When I put hydrocortizone on it along with taking benadryl it usually clears up in a few days. But then months later its back again. I was already diagnosed with Tinea Versi-color years ago when I was in my late teens like 17ish. Could this have anything to do with that? Whenever I got versi-color though it would be like spots 4 of 5 shades lighter than my skin. But never red or itchy like what im experiencing now. PLEASE HELP!
