Could Rubbing Or Friction Have Caused The Hives?

I have quite a lot of red, itchy bumps in my groin area that I suspect are hives. I'm wondering if this is because the day after I started antibiotics (amoxicillin) I had sex. Could the rubbing/friction have caused the hives? because they are only in my groin area...

Hi
Thanks for your query.
I appreciate your concern for the development of itchy bumps on your groin area.

Red and itchy bumps appear to be due to allergic reaction due to the use of antibiotic Amoxicillin. Friction or rubbing during sexual act usually does not result in the development of a lot of red and itchy bumps.

Hope this answers your query.
