Specializes in Dermatology

Rashes can be pimple: like, flat red bumps, raised red bumps and many other varieties. You may have an allergic reaction to the antibiotic or you may have a virus and have a viral eruption. See dermatologist to get answer. if allergic reaction you need to switch antibiotics, if viral it will pass in time
