i’m having terrible anxiety about this rash .. i looked it up and it’s saying its a leukemia rash and i haven’t calmed down since.. does anyone know what it could be? i’m having no pain , no itchy , no burning.. i do not have bed bugs or fleas. i havent been around plants, i havent done nothing new. i was taking amoxicillin for 2 weeks (with a week break in between) bc i MIGHT have an infection in my tooth. my face isnt swollen and i do not have an abcess but i had jaw/ear pain after a cavity filling so my dentist gave me the meds. other than that, i did go tanning. those are the only 2 things i can think of. im 26 and i’m not allergic to anything that i know of. i went to bed and woke up with it about 3 or 4 days ago.. theres a pic in the comments . its on the top of my thigh

    I don’t see the rash picture. However, I do know that amoxicillin can cause a rash. Don’t Google because you’ll just scare yourself for nothing. They always give worst-case scenario of everything one in most cases it’s not worst case scenario. People get rashes all the time the vast majority are harmless and go away on their own.

    being a registered nurse, I can tell you that tanning on a regular basis is dangerous. Don’t know how often you go, but I wanted to share that with you. I would worry more about that.

    just let your doctor know if the rash doesn’t go away on its own. Most likely the antibiotic. Take care.
