Rash on face from IV drugs

Posted by farfalina @farfalina, 2 days ago

I developed a rash on my face a few weeks into IV therapy for mycobacterium Abscessus. The doc wasn’t too concerned. It’s only on my face, doesn’t itch. I’m on linezolid tigecycline and Amikacin.

I would be concern about a rash after starting antibiotics as it is a listed side effect for allergic reaction to many antibiotics. Have you had the rash evaluated by a dermatologist?
