Can A Heat Rash Around My Mid-drift, Be Allergic Reaction To Antibiotic?
I had a chest infection, finished antibiotics on Sunday, developed a rash in the past three days which appears to be getting worse, starting like a heat rash around my mid-drift, but has spread and is getting intense, I was on 500mg Augmentin 3 times a day, do you think this is an allergic reaction to the antibiotic thanks

Hi and welcome to HCM,
Im Dr satya, Rash mid rif post antibiotics, what is important to know is if the rash is associated with pain or one side of midrif and associated with small fluid filled rash then the possibilty of zoster should be kept in mind. kindly see your nearest dermatologist and take appropriate treatment
thank you
