A member asked:

Would using hydrocortisone cream work on a morbilliform skin rash caused by having mono and taking amoxicillin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely to help: The rash is due to factors that circulate in the blood & effect their cosmetic changes (rash) beneath the skin surface. No externally applied cream or medication will make any difference in the timing of its disappearance.
