I was prescribed Avelox for an infected insect bite. I took my first daily dose Saturday evening. I woke up Tuesday morning with large painful welts covering my neck. They were very itchy and hurt very badly. Today is Wednesday and they are continuing to get worse and spread. I just made the connection today that this rash is likely due to Avelox. Im a healthy 27 year old and Ive never had any allergic reactions to medicine before. The infection in my arm went away quickly, but the rash on my neck is terrible.
