I started taking Amoxicillin (500 mg capsules - 3 of them twice a day).

Just started taking them two days ago and now have developed a rash on my chest and legs.

Anybody else have this issue with that abx?

Did you have any cold or viral type symptoms when you took the Amoxil? It is very common to develop a rash when taking Amoxil with a viral infection like EBV/mono.

It would be best to see your doctor to find out if the rash is a drug reaction or true allergy.

Sammy,
I have since talked to my LLMD. She says it is most likely die-off. As long as the rash doesn't get worse or inhibit breathing, etc it is fine. She recommended that I take a Zyrtec and Ranitaidine as they are histamine blockers. That has helped.

My view is, if it is die-off, then I love this rash [Smile]
