Possible reaction

I recently started taking medication for a really bad cold I got. The pills were to be taken for 10 days and on the 6th or 7th day, I got little red bumps that itch like crazy on my inner thighs. It started off as 2 then went up to 8 the following day. Each day there seems to be more and more. I have finished the medication 2 days ago and there are even more than before. The little red itchy bumps are now located near my vagina. The bumps vary on side but don't go bigger than my thumb. Is it a reaction and I have to wait for them to go away or is it now an infection?

I have finished to medication and the bumps have become dry. There was two that were pimples on my lower stomach right above the hairline. Others are scabs where my legs bend at my hips, like in the creased area. They don't itch very often, some days not at all. Will they go away on their own within a few days?

Yes it sounds like it was the amoxicillin it is known to cause a reaction in some .Have you finished the course, as it may be aswell to ask the doctor if you should as you have the hives.You could take some benydryl  and put some hydrocortisone cream on them

The medication was amoxicillin. And nothing new. Same jeans, same underwear, same detergent. I don't use creams and no soap change. My mom thought it was hives as well but she wasn't sure since they itch.

What was the medication , it does sound like hives and may indeed have been a reaction to the meds or you maybe allergic to something else , new underwear , new creams ,if it continues its would be best to have it checked out with the Doctor .good luck
