It almost sounds like an allergic reaction to something. You might try an antihistamine (if it's ok with your other medicines) and see if it helps. I had hives (itchy whelps) once while on amoxicillen. I'd taken it with no problem before. It was miserable -- itchy red whelps everywhere -- eventually even my lips were swollen. It was over a weekend so I took Benadryl, which helped, but also knocked me out. I ended up having to go to the ER on Monday, not because it was an emergency, but because when I called my doctor's office he was out. If I had known I'd be doing that, I would have gone ahead and gone in over the weekend. He gave me a shot of something, I don't remember what, and referred me to a dermatologist. I don't remember what the treatment was, but it took a while to work out of my system. An allergic reaction can cause breathing problems -- if there is any sign of that happening, call 911 right away.

To everyone: While I was in the hospital I got this terrible red rash & it is still going on. I have an appt. w/ my dermatologist the first week of Oct. I itch all the time everywhere and when I scatch whelps like come up. Also, even my watch touching me, if it hits the bed too hard or something, it causes a red spot. I washed my face this morning and my husband said you have a red face with whelps on it. Strange....I don't know what is going on. I am in misery itching...Any similar stories???
