A member asked:

What would indicate an allergic skin reaction to amoxillin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Lee Perry answered

Usually hives: Allergy to penicillin usually leads to skin rash, such as hives/urticaria. All rashes are not necessarily due to true "allergy". There are skin testing protocols available to more definitively diagnose penicillin allergy.
