Can Calvepen Intake Cause Rashes Like Side Effects?
Hi, I started taking Calvepen 666 yesterday. I took two tablets. I have take this medication before, most recently from the 3rd of January until the 12th for the same condition (tonsillitis). This morning I woke up with a rash covering my chest and neck and also numerious white spots on my face. I am prone to breakouts from time to time but I had at least 20/30 little white spots around my chin, and between my eyebrows. Would this be related to taking Calvepen?

Hi,
White spots on face,neck and chest may be fungal infection called tinea versicolor most probably. Antibiotic you take does not cause white spots. However, consult the dermatologist for the perfect diagnosis and proper treatment. I would recommend you to apply antiffungal like clotrimazole cream and to take ketoconazole tablet daily for few weeks. Avoid soap bath. Take treatment under observation of doctor.
Hope this helps.
