I was put on a 10 day course of cephalexin 500 mg. capsule therapy post-operatively. About the 6th day I started to develop a rash, however did not attribute it to the medication until I noticed that the rash started to spread with each subsequent dosing, and the itching intensified for about 2-3 hours after I took each dose. It started and has been evident primarily in the torso, however I did have a few patches on areas of both of my upper thighs. I have just stopped taking it, as it is the 9th post-op day and will see if it subsides and how long. It did not dawn on me that this might be attributed to the medication, being summer and having mosquitoes around. Will see how long it takes to get back to normal.

I recently was prescribed the sulfa type antibiotic, smz/tmp double str Tb MPC - and with one left to take, started to itch. I noticed small red bumps on the tops of my thighs, the underside of my arms and some on my belly - all of which have been itching.. So, I am using an Aveeno hydro cortisone. The chest cold/crusted eye syndrome I was experiencing for most of the month of Dec 2005..has now died away. It is the day after Christmas and I feel like I've been attacked by a swarm of mosquitoes. I will be sure never to take this again!
