Does Clindamycin Cause Skin Peeling On The Hands And Fingers?

My dad went into the hospital with a brain tumor but when they did surgery they found a brain abscess.. later my dads hands were rotting down to the ligaments & muscles.. his hands and fingers were peeling and he was yellow of the eyes.. could this be from a Clindamycin allergy?

Hello,

It can be a possible form of severe allergic reaction.
You can consult a dermatologist for further evaluation.
It would be better if you attach a picture along with the query.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
