Having Spots On Body Looking Like Measles. Allergy Caused By Antibiotics. What To Do?
I am a nurse. My mother began having spots on her body that looked like measles , they were not. But the spots began to dry and are now turning black. The spots began about 4 weeks ago and her MD thought it was from an allergy to the antibiotic she was taking. She stopped the antibiotic at that time. Do you have any ideas of what it might be? I am worried because they are not going away and seem to be changing.

It all depends on medicines she is taking
seems to be drug allergy
any other medicine if she is taking can cause like paracetamol,disprin,aspirin,brufen
you find cause and after elimination it take 4 to 6 week to recover
you can apply mometasone oitment on area till you get answer
