C-diff and linear rash
I had both a linear rash on my arms and scalp and c-diff when I first went to see my family doctor. I had been suffering with D for about 5 - 6 weeks, and the rash had been around for about 4 days. I hadn't been on any antibiotics. The rash subsided, but now it's back. I'm now on my third antibiotic, Xifaxan, having failed with Flagyl. We then tried Vancomyacin, which appeared to be working. However, I came off it because my doctor was worried the rash might be an allergic reaction. The rash has progressed while taking Xifaxan. Has anyone else experienced a blistery rash with c-diff that may not be a reaction to antibiotics?

Re: C-diff and linear rash
I did have a rash/rashes. I had large blisters on my scalp, a rash on my forearms and small blisters on my palms... but it was decided I had Redman Syndrome.
However, I have continued with some skin problems following C. diff.

Are you taking probiotics? Some people have reported rashes from them. I got one from Florastor.
