Could The Bumpy White Spots Be Due To Antibiotics?
I have had an opperation recently and I am taking antibiotics to prevent infection. My hands started feeling wierd and now have many, tiny white dots all over! These dots/spots are bumpy and are not itchy or sore in any way, what could be the cause of this? Is it the antibiotics?

Hi,
Yes. >An antibiotic rash can be mild or severe, depending on how sensitive the individual is to the medication. It can be red or purple and can spread across the body. It may also show up as hives, which are red or white bumps that develop on the skin. Or, it may appear as a maculopapular rash with areas that resemble flat patches.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
