I had a reaction this year to Cipro - which I’d taken before without any reaction. I had a rash that covered my entire back and shoulders and spread down to my thighs - it was bright red and incredibly itchy and to make matters worse it flared up as I was flying to Japan, so had to try to find an anti-itch cream in Japanese which I don’t speak :-). It was truly awful, I still have a scar because I itched so hard – I would be in front of clients and thinking - how can I back up to something so I can itch my back surreptitiously and get some relief?? Unfortunately the only thing that really seemed to work was time. It probably took 10 days to clear up. Best of luck to the patient!!
