How long should an allergic reaction symptom to an antibiotic last?

Q: I was put on Ciprofolxacin for an infection and had an allergic reaction. I started taking it on dec 19th and stopped 3 days later when I realized that the spots on my arms weren’t a flare-up of psoriasis, but an allergic reaction. The rash has gotten steadily worse since then instead of better. It’s been about 11 days since I stopped taking it, Shouldn’t the symptoms be lessening by now?

A: I’d like to ask some additional questions, but you don’t allow email.I’m going to assume that this is a self-medication and that you are aware of what cipro is good at treating and what it is not. After all, the spots on your skin could actually be a low-level infection caused by an opportunistic fungus, a frequent cause of psoriasis. The sudden death of millions of staph epidermidis, etc on your skin is great food for fungus. It could also be a product of your original infection. So, I’m questioning your understanding of what you think the problem is. Cipro also increases sensitivity to sunlight, so your “rash” could be a type of sunburn…. I could go through many issues without detail, but I won’t.If you are under the care of a physician, have a real evaluation. If you are in a third world country self-medicating with cipro, you’re part of the problem of drug resistance and the reason why cipro can no longer be held as a drug of last resort. Shame.You need to see a physician and have them evaluate the visual and textural quality of the rash. Otherwise, what you would do to help an allergy will make anything else much worse. Since cipro half-life is 4 hours, 8 days is plenty of time for it to be gone from your system and the rash to start getting better.
