Rashes Unleashed

I've been wondering why I've been having bumps (round, raised, skin colour and individual like mosquito bites) all over my body lately and I thought it's due to the few feasts I've been to. Those times, however we did not order sharks fins, my usual allergen... so I assumed that it's one of ingredients or seasoning used in one of the dishes that caused the allergy.

Today, I found my answer. Not in a very expected way but in a rather familiar way. A different type of rashes appeared on my body today. They are small, red and many like little goose pimples that covers quite a big area. It's a deja vu feeling and I knew I had the same set of rashes at the very spot (actually area) previously! It strikes me then that I had the rashes during my pregnancy... but it was DC who later enlightened me that it was caused by my new antibiotics! Yes, makes sense... the dates match... and I had the same antibiotics during my pregnancy!

I looked at the elements in the medication.. Amoxycillin and Clavulanate Potassium... which one was I allergic to? I'm guessing the latter cos I've taken the former before I took this course of medicine. But, I'm not sure if the dosage matters... I think I better check with the doc...
