Possible drug rxn: This could be a drug reaction.  The skin biopsy should clarify this.  If this turns out to be a reaction to Augmentin, (amoxicillin and clavulanate) there are alternatives that our physician can prescribe to prevent UTIs.

Question 2

Leg swelling: These symptoms could be from several different reasons. Any of them need to be evaluated and treated by your doctor. You could have an infection or circulation problem.

: It will be a good idea to have a doctor look at it as it is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining the rash.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
