How long did it take your hands and feet to heal? I had a similar reaction only with a muscle relaxer, not Penicilin.
Hi,
Yes my hands are peeling in the palms for the second time in a month. Now the boyyom of my feet have that waxey feel and are burning and itching, they may peel too. I spoke to a pharmacist and he said that my body may be reacting as if the penicillin is still there. This is so mind boggling, i go next Monday to an allergy clinic for tests, its just that I have to be off the benedril for at least a week, and right now that is the only thing that keeps me from scratching. I am still on steroids orally it is a taper. Thank You for writing.
Hi,
How are your symptoms?
Are your hands still peeling?
You may have an adverse drug reaction to penicillin in the form of a drug hypersensitivity. Avoid any medications that contain penicillin and seek consult with an allergologist as soon as possible. By this time, the penicillin must have been excreted from the body given that you have stopped taking it from the onset of your symptoms. Other triggers have to be ruled out however and the allergologist will be able to help.
