Can Amoxicillin Cause Red Spots On Penis?
i am taking a course of Amoxycillin due to having dry socket after teeth extraction. I have noticed little red dots on the glans of my penis. I am recently single and I did have an encounter a couple of nights ago. Otherwise, the antibiotics has been causing diarrhea.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
You have been taking Amoxycillin for dental problem and have noticed red bumps on glans penis
.
These bumps are likely to be due to sexual encounter that you had very recently and not due side effects of Amoxycillin .
The diarrohea is known side effect of Amoxycilin.and will get cured after you stop the drug.
Use topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.
Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily
Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
