Hi Dear ,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you are suffering rashes all over the body after taking Ciprofloxacin can be probably due allergic reaction to some unknown allergen while other cause can e Scabies that is a tick infestation infection. But in your case the symptoms are probably due to side effects of medicine you are taking. Consult the doctor who prescribed medicine so that he/she can alter the dose or prescribe alternative. Apply ice packs to body for itchiness and redness . So i would suggest you to consult allergy specialist for proper diagnosis. Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream, anti inflammatory drug. Doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
