Hi.
Yes, Ciprofloxacin can cause skin rashes. Based on the history, you seem to have developed allergic skin rashes apparently caused by the Ciprofloxacin. I advise you to stop taking Ciprofloxacin and consult your doctor immediately for an alternate effective but a safer antibiotic for your infection.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
