What Causes Itchy Rashes On Skin Inspite Of Taking Macrobid For MRSA On Skin?

Hi, doc. I am on day 8 of taking macrobid for MRSA on skin. For several days I have had very itchy rash that seems to be spreading on torso and arms. My doc knows and still prescribed it for this second week. Should I be worried about this reaction? Most itchy thing I have ever had!

Dear sir, it is a drug reaction of the drug. May resolve within few days. If not resolve consult your physician and ask him to change the antibiotics. There are many drugs which are active against MRSA. Finally end with 'Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help". For Follow up questions, end with "If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health".
