I've always taken amoxicillin since i was little took last year n had hand redness n itching up arms face was burning is this reaction n safe to take?

Itching amox: i would not take it again. Follow up with an allergist for penicillin allergy testing. You can develop an allergy anytime in life so the fact that in the past you took it without difficulty does not preclude becoming allergic later in life. Please tell every doctor you go to that the last time you took amoxicillin you had itching and a rash, it is very important. Drug allergies can be fatal.
