Are Rashes On The Lower Lips While On Carbamazepine Normal?

Posted on Thu, 3 Nov 2016

Question: I've been on carbamazepine for 2 months for Trigeminal Neuragia, and recently noticed a little rashing and my lower lip looks grey in the corner. Can this be from the Med? Would I have not seen something earlier

Brief Answer:
Get examined by a dermatologist too

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Carbamazepine can cause skin rashes but facial rashes needs to be evaluated first by a dermatologist for any alternative diagnosis.
You can also stop drug for few days and observe for skin lesion.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
