Question : I recently had a mucus pouch removed from my frontal forehead which was pressing on my brain causing daily blinding headaches. The infection in my head was not cleared after the surgery, It seems it was not strong enough. On Thursday I was put on ciprofloxacin 750 m twice daily. ON Fridday morning I noticed a spot in my bra. Now there is a dozen or so drops of the pink fluid. Could this be caused by the medication.

Brief Answer:
Drug rash

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXX,
The rash which has appeared on your body is because of the medication (Ciprofloxacin) which you have consumed. Once you stop it the rash will disappear.
You can ask for a change of this antibiotic if it is necessary to have it. There is nothing to worry.
Truly,
Dr. J. Ticku
