HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
All medications are associated with potential side effects that may or may not occur.
It is possible for a rash to occur as a result of using the clindamycin.
The rash should improve when the medication is discontinued.
You should consider the use of oral antihistamines and a mild topical steroid to help.
These should be available over the counter.
I hope this helps
