I was diagnosed with mono a little less
than 2 weeks ago. I was put on
amoxicillin because the doctor thought I
may also have strep throat. She told me
nothing about breaking out in a rash.
So about a week after I was taking the
meds I broke out in the dredful rash.
It burns and itches like crazy and my skin
feels so raw it is very painful to the
touch. The rash has gone from red spots
to purple spots. I've had it for 4 days
and was really wondering when this is
suppose to go away? I havent been
getting much sleep at night because I cant
lay still for very long without having to
itch something. So if anyone could
please let me know about how long this is
suppose to last for, and if there is
anything I can take to make the itching
not be so intense. I've been putting
calamine lotion on, but it only relieves
me for about 10 minutes then it is back to
the itching. Im assuming this rash is
harmless, and I dont need to see a doctor
for it?
