I have a rash that has developed over the past few days.
Sent to Health Experts July 06 10:26 PM

I have a rash that has developed over the past few days. It started on my chest (breastbone area) and has spread up my bra strap lines, to my neck, and now to my cheeks along my jawline. It's like little pimples, they develop little white heads that you can pop (puss)...as a matter of fact, they develop white heads within an hour of when they show up. What could this be? I'm on an antibiotic that I've never been on before, but I haven't taken any since last night and the rash spread to my cheeks just this evening...could this still be an allergic reaction?

It could be an allergic reaction, or it could be a secondary fungal infection. I would most certainly go have the doctor tell you for sure tomorrow. Benadryl is a good choice, and I wouldn't take anymore antibiotic until you run this past the doctor.
