Sounds like allergy: There are some people who appear to have a propensity to develop allergic reactions to a variety of medications and it sounds like you may be one of them. Might help to check with a local allergist.

Multiple drug allerg: If you only break out, and don't get more serious reactions, you will be able to work with an allergist to take some antibiotics. Google "multiple drug allergy syndrome" to learn more about this problem. It actually has a name , and can be dealt with in a rational manner. You don't have to be afraid of infections, but you do need an allergist who understands how to treat them for you.
