Ok so around 3 weeks ago I came down with a cold and at the time I wasn't registered to any doctor and and I had some Amoxycillin lyring around that was prescribed to me a around 10 months so I took some without knowing if it had expired or not. A few days after taking the medicine for 3 days I noticed some itching on the inside of my arms around the joint area, no burning or inflamation just a tingling itch. I also noticed the same itchyness on the outside corners of my eyes and at the middle of my neck in between my collar bones. A day after the itching appeared the outside corners of my eyes had become much darker, wrinkly, dry and flaky. Both eyes had the same problem. The Inside of my arms had also become red but not inflammed and if looked at closely, there were small redder dots. Anyway my eyes after a few days had reduced in darkness and the dryness has gone away but even now theres a slight hint of wrinkles and discolour but not as bad. As for my arm jointsm, the redness has pretty much gone but what I did notice after the redness and itchyness had gone was small dots of dry skin peeling around where the red rash was but again after a few days that has also reduced and pretty much gone.
Now just a couple of days ago I started to feel some chaffing on the base of my neck on the left side, after making an inspection I notced larger than normal goosebumps surronding a couple of red spots, there was also a dark discolour around the small patch. This patch of bumps is just larger than an inch in diameter, There was an initial itchyness but after that nothing. No redness, just the darker tint in skin around the area. Over the space of the last 2 days, the bumps have reduced and it seems to be clearing.
Ok so, I have pretty much no idea as to why any of these rashes came about, at first I was worried about possible STDs than I was worried it may have been the possibly expired medicine(or maybe i took to strong of a dosage). As for the bumps on my neck my initial thought was a insect bite of some kind due to their being to red bumps which than lead to a reaction but they didnt seem to have any bite hole at the centre. I don't even know if these rash/bumps are linked to one another. Ive shown no other symptoms since the cold, I feel pretty good except for slight anxiety. I have a doctors appointment booked now but not till thursday but by then the rashes and bumps will have pretty much gone so it'll be difficult for him to get any idea as to what it was that caused the problem.
Anyway just thought Id throw the situation on to the forum to get any ideas until I see my doctor. could the medicine have caused the rash? any of this sound std related?
