I've been taking clindamycin for about a week then woke up with a hives in my armpits and groin area?

See DR: You have unusual medical problems for you age. Why clindamycin? Allergy to antibiotic usually causes hives ALL OVER. The timing is right but the localization raises questions. Are you sure it is hives? Stop clindamycin and see your DR immediately. you may need a dermatologist.
