  My 15 yo daughter has been diagnosed with PR (Pityriasis Rosea) recently.
Her doc recommended a course of Erythromycin 333mg TID for ten days. She
recently developed some light vaginal bleeding (her period was two weeks
ago) that lasted just one day. Her rash is worse, and she's had the rash for
almost two weeks now. My question is: is the antibiotic causing the vaginal
discharge? She has no other symptoms other than the itchiness from the PR
and is taking Benadryl 25-50mg every four hours as needed.
  Thoughts?
  Kathleen

  ps/I really appreciate the input from this group!
