Could Clindamycin Or Percocet Cause Chest, Back, Buttock And Scalp Itchy Rashes?
Hello, I am currently taking 600mg of Clindamycin every 6 hours, and oxycodone 5-325 every 4 hours for a mastectomy on 2/6/14. I currently have an itchy rash on my chest, back, buttocks and scalp.. It sounds like an allergic reaction, it started 2 days ago (one week after starting both meds). Do you think its most likely a reaction to the Clindamycin or the Percocet? (I am allergic to Penicillen).

Yes, such type of reaction are possible with the use of Clindamycin and Percocet both. If you keep on taking both medicines even despite skin rashes, it could be more severe reaction further
