Skin burning/rash/eczema - any positive outcomes?

[NEWCOMER]

Hey guys, I’d really appreciate hearing some positive stories from anyone who developed skin issues after taking levofloxacin. I took 5 × 500 mg tablets for a resistant UTI, and since then my face and right hand have been burning, extremely dry, and suddenly very sensitive to skincare, so I’ve stopped using all actives for now.

I am prone to eczema in both of these areas, but this feels much more intense than my usual flare-ups. I’m now about 10 days out from my last dose.

Did anyone experience something similar and have it gradually improve with time? And is there anything that helped your skin recover?

I’m feeling pretty anxious about it, so I’d especially appreciate hearing positive outcomes and knowing that this doesn’t necessarily mean the changes are permanent. ❤️
