   Strange rash, is this from meds? (General Health board)

10th August 2007
Just yesterday, and today, I noticed that I had an odd rash.

Lots of small red splotches, mostly on the underside of my arms (forearm and bicep area), in my armpits, and a little on my torso. It doesn't itch and it looks worst in the armpit area.

I have been taking augmentin and prednisone for tonsillitis for the past 8 days but I did not notice any sort of rash prior to yesterday.

Also, I have an odd allergic reaction to feeling cold sometimes (it's hard to explain, but will cause me to break out in hives), however the hives are usually much larger than these small red splotches I have now, so I don't think this is related to that.

Could it be from the medicine or something else? Just wondering if I should get ahold of the doc or not.

I actually just realized that I'm on my last day of the augmentin. I thought I had another day left yet.

The doctor's office still hasn't called back...was kinda expecting that I suppose, its not a regular doctor's office per se but a place called "med express" that's good to go to if you don't have a regular doctor, or need urgent care but don't want to go to the ER. So they're kinda busy.
