Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
SKin rash could be side effects of Levofloxacin most probably, though Metronidazole can also cause Skin rash. You must consult her Doctor immediately. Your Doctor may decide to stop the medicine, or change the medicine or may continue the medicine under strict supervision, if he feels that Rash could be due to some other co-existing condition. Remember, our decisions are based on weighing the benefits and side effects of the particular medicines.
Take care.
