I have been prescribed co-amoxiclav for a urine infection, I started them Monday, then noticed a red rash on my left breast, it is itchy, not sore or uncomfortable or anything like that but it covers pretty much all of my breast. I have been to the dr this morning and she told me she had never known a rash to show up just on one place from a antibiotic, anyway she left me a bit uncertain, so I googled my symptoms and it says about inflammotary breast cancer, could I have this? I have just turned 20.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. The possibility of cancer is negligible. DOnt worry about this. This can be antibiotics side effect, but also any kind of mastitis, insect bite, allergy or irritation. The best thing is to wait and see will it progress or not. I don't think that any medicines or creams are necessary. Take another antibiotic and don't worry. Wish you good health.
