I was given Cipro. Within 3 days I developed a rash on my hands that have spread. I went to the hospital and they said to stop medication. My hands are now swollen and it feels like there are little needles sticking my finger tips when they are touched. I can not take Benedyl like the wanted me to because I am allergic to it. I have had this for a week and it is only getting worse. No poison ivy around but there are no blisters on the rash either. Itches horribly
Hi. Well it looks like you have developed allergic reaction to Ciprofloxacin that is an antibiotic. Rashes can be due to allergic reaction to antibiotic. Stopping the medicine can help but to resolve the symptoms you should take anti-allergic medicine for relief. If you are allergic to Ben Chat Doctor.  Also, you can get a steroid shot so that the symptoms resolve soon. Hope I have answered your query. Please let me know if I can assist you further. Regards.
