Ciprofloxin - The Cause of My Itching and Welts

I began having otitis externa (ear infections) while I was pregnant with my son Dominick. The doctor gave me Ciprofloxin ear drops. I had several bouts even after I had Dominick. I began cleaning my ears with a mixture of organic vinegar and distilled water and no more infections. The itching in my ears still occurs and after having Dominick my entire body itches especially after a shower. I get welts wherever my body touches something or if I scratch my skin look out, I look like somebody has whipped me with a whip.

I have researched this itchy skin condition and the conclusion I have come up with is the Ciprofloxin has caused this and an overproduction of yeast in my blood. I see an alternative
medicine MD and tried the Diflucan and Nystatin powder and yeast free diet for 30 days but no cure.

I am a RN and work with several specialists. One skin MD told me to take Allegra and Zantac in the morning and a Zyrtec and Zantac at night for 3 months and this would go away. Have I tried this? "No" I don't like taking RX meds, but if I can't find something natural that will help me, I may just do this. I hate this intense itching.
