A member asked:
I had a uti about a month ago without symptoms that was klebsiella pneumonia. i took cipro for five days. my question is this all started with a rash i was treated with an anabiotic for the uti but i still have a pretty itchy rash on my trunk arms et?

If the rash started before cipro was taken then something else caused the rash. A dermatologist is best to consult for diagnosis and treatment of this itchy rash. Could it be a reaction from another medication? I assume you've tried antihistamines for relief.

Rash persisting this long after stopping ciprofloxacin indicates that wasn't the cause. UTI or klebsiella do not cause rash. Discuss with your doctor: if the cause of rash remains uncertain, see a dermatologist. Good luck.
