An allergic reaction to medicine can cause hives. They appear as
raised, red, itchy bumps (wheals) of different shapes and sizes, with defined
red margins and pale centers. Hives may appear and then disappear at random and
seem to move from place to place on the skin.

An allergic reaction to medicine can cause a rash that looks like
measles. See the illustration above for the areas most commonly affected by the
rash.
