Bug-bite Sized Welts After Active FX

Hello, I had Active FX 3 weeks ago and now my skin is breaking out in large painful welts, similar to bug bites. Is this normal? I am scared and I am only able to schedule with the nurse who keeps putting me on Anitbiotics. Thanks

I would ask to be seen by the medical director. You could be developing an allergic reaction to the ointments, creams or antibiotics. You may need a course of oral or topical steroids, antiinflammatory, and/or antihistamines..
