Can Penicillin Causes Red Spots All Over Body?

I recently had tonsillitis and the doctor prescribed me with penicillin. After a couple of days that tonsillitis went but I started to get red spots all on my arms where I have psoriasis. I went to the doctor and they didn t know what it was and suggested I go back if it hasnt gone in a week. It has now been a week and the spots have gone all over my legs, chest, stomach and arms. I have a few on my back and none on my face. They are not itchy but I feel as if I am going to have them for the rest of my life. I have also noticed that especially when I am cold, the spots have white rings around them. Please tell me what this is. Thank you

HI
Well come to HCM
Such skin appearance could be due to some medicine if you have ever taken for infection and as you said this could be due to penicillin because this drug cause allergic reaction in most of the cases, condition can be managed with "Tab Diphenhydramine" three times in day, no need to worry about this, it would be fine soon, take care, have a nice day.
