Red, splotchy Rash | Arthritis Information

I've got this strange, red, splotchy rash on both of my upper arms. Right before my shoulders.

It itches some....but not horrilbe. I really hadn't even noticed it until I was in the dressing room at the mall today and I saw it.

Any ideas?

Lovie, I know that you've been ill; are you taking antibiotics or any other new meds?  Might be medication allergy. 

Yeah; I'm now on my second antibiotic in the last two weeks.

It's not really bothersome......do you think this is causing this? At what point should I abandon the medication because of this.

If it doesn't get any worse I'd like to finish up this prescription. It does seem to FINALLY be working. I'll be on it until Wednesday.

Lovie, call your doctor on Mon. and let him make the decision about discontinuing the antibio.  I wouldn't stop on my own.  Take it easy.
