Taking sulfamethoxazole for cellulitis on my leg but now i've been getting tiny really itchy hives on my hands. am i allergic and what should i do?

Possible: Although I expect an allergic reaction to sulfa to be more generalized, you should stop taking the medication and ask your doctor to prescribe a substitute just in case.
