Skin Rash
Skin rashes may develop while taking amoxicillin, especially among children. About 5 to 10 percent of children who take this drug get a skin rash. Most times, it's difficult to determine whether the skin rash is a result of an allergy.
Most people notice the skin rash after taking amoxicillin for three to five days. It may appear as small, raised or flat, red, unevenly spread patches. The rash may be itchy and may appear on the back, stomach or chest.
