Penicillin is a beta-lactam. Although beta-lactam antibiotics are wide-spectrum antibiotics, meaning they can be effective against a wide array of infections, there are other options in cases where it is not possible to administer beta-lactams. This is information I have gathered from other sources below.

You should not take penicillin for skin rashes. No antibiotic should be taken without the advice of the doctor. When your doctor prescribe you penicillin, he will invariably advice the dose and frequency also. Even a single dose of penicillin can give you allergic rash.

Repeat the same thing whenever he will prepare the injection for you or write down the prescription. Do not worry, even if that may irritate him.

Yes, erythromycin is very similar to penicillin, in the types of bacterial infections it can fight. Erythromycin is used in patients who are allergic to penicillin, primarily.

Typically, though, a different antibiotic is chosen, given the similarities of the two drugs.
