Amoxicillin rashes manifest in several ways. You might see a Maculopapular rash, characterized by flat, red spots (macules) that may become slightly raised (papules). This is the most common type.
Another possibility is Urticaria, also known as hives. This involves raised, itchy welts that can vary in size and location. These welts often appear and disappear quickly.
A less frequent, but more serious, reaction is Erythema multiforme. This involves target-shaped lesions with concentric rings of color. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience this.
Finally, a severe allergic reaction can present as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN). These involve widespread blistering and skin detachment, requiring immediate hospitalization. These are rare but life-threatening.
