A member asked:
I had an allergic reaction to antibiotics and now have this rash on my chest that looks like tiny pink spider legs/squiggly lines. there is no circle in the middle and they go away with benadryl. how long after stopping antibiotics will this go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually one week: Allergic reactions may worsen or be prolonged. Continue the antihistamine for one week following the discontinuation of the antibiotic. If you note worsening itching, trouble breathing or swallowing, please see your PCP.
