A member asked:

I am on ceforoxime and now have a mild rash on my neck. i got the same rash last time i took biaxin (clarithromycin). is it fine to continue?

See the doctor: Let the doctor who prescribed the antibiotic take a look at this. If it is due to allergy you may want to stop the drug and substitute something different as necessary. But get this looked at professionally.
