I've just noticed that the skin on my neck is really painful, and it's got these small red bubbles all over, almost like an insect bite. Do you think this could be an allergic reaction, or should I be concerned about something else? What steps should I take to treat this?

I recently got over a bout of diarrhea, and it seems like the antibiotic ORNIO really helped. But now I'm experiencing itchiness all over my body, and I'm noticing these tiny bumps popping up on my skin. I've never had any allergies to medication before, but could this antibiotic be causing these symptoms? Can you provide some guidance on what might be happening?

I was prescribed Halox S solution to use before bed and then shampoo it out the next morning. However, it's just a 30ml bottle, so I'm wondering if I should be diluting the solution or using it differently to make it last longer?

No, continue same treatment as advised by the dermatologist.
