The rash may be due to many causes 1.Allergy to some of the antibiotics. 2.Allergic reaction to the infection. 3. Maybe due to secondary dermatological infection. Apply moisturizer cream, and use tablet vitamin c once a day for five days. If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
