Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rashes On Arms And Legs

I was prescribed Doxycycline for what i thought were itchy bug bite scabs that weren t healing. Ever since taking the antibiotics, i have been breaking out in rashes on my arms, legs, chest and earlobes. The scabs were actually lesions. Probably a skin infection. My rash bumps would bleed after being scratched and would crust over yellow. The lesions seem to be becoming less irritable and smaller. Is it worth continuing the prescription of antibiotics or should I stop?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the skin rash that been erupted could be due to drug reaction and it better to stop this medicine and wait for some time it will be fine soon and if not then you can try anti-histamine "Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg" three times in day, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
