Posted on Mon, 1 Aug 2016
Question: Hi. My name is XXXXXXX I was in ER last Tuesday with fever and diagnosed with skin infection. They sent me home with Clindamycin. I am allergic to Erythromycin and Vancomycin. I am breaking out in a rash , have itching on my head and ears, rash on arms, etc. Doctor advised me to stop medication. I want to know if I am allergic to these medications, is it likely I am allergic to all "mycins"? What is it I am allergic to?

Brief Answer:
You are atopic person

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
no,this mycin isn't something specific and all these 3 antibiotics don't belong to same group. So you are simply person sensitive to antibiotics and we call it atopic people. You should avoid any medications that caused allergic reaction. Wish you good health. Regards
