How long can skin allergies from antibiotics last after medicine is finished?

I took amoxiclav for strep throat for 10 days. During which I broke out in measle looking bumps all over my body. They almost went away and now I have what looks more like a poison oak rash from my feet to my neck. The itching is intense! Could this happen from taking the amoxiclav?
