What Causes Skin Rashes All Over Body After Taking Antibiotic?
About a week ago, I was prescribed an antibiotic to get rid of a sinus infection. This past weekend, I got some pretty bad sunburn on my arms, face, and chest. Now my legs have giant red splotches (on the top of the thigh and on the backs of my knees). Could this rash be a result of getting too much sun while on the antibiotic or is it something completely different?

HI
Well come to HCM
If the skin which was not expose to sun still get such skin color or burning sensation then this may not be due to sun burn but this could be due to antibiotic sensitivity, you can well differentiate this, in either case this would be fine on its own, for the symptomatic relief some soothing agent can be used, hope this information helps, take care.
