Red Blotchy Skin On Shoulders, Chest When Exposed To Heat, During Stress. Taken Amoxicillin For Rash. Treatment?

Broke out in full body rash after taking amoxicillin 3-4 weeks ago, rash disappeared after a few days but then I got inflamed tonsils with erudite for another week. I think I may have actually had glandular fever but as most of my symptoms have disappeared this was no longer such a problem. However, recently every time I am stressed or in a hot ambient environment I will notice red blotchy skin on shoulders, neck and chest. This has not happened to me before.

Hello,
Thanks for the query.

Yes you are correct you might have got a glandular fever,

Actually amox should not be given in this condition.

It can cause reaction.

The red rashes can be urticaria,

Treatment with anti histamines may be required.

Please meet a dermatologist and discuss regarding this.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
