Can A Pinched Nerve In My Spine Cause A Skin Rashes?

Can a pinched nerve in my spine cause a skin rash. I had a blistery rash. Looked like poison ivy. That has been ruled out. Then changed meds for maybe scabies. Blisters dried up but still have a rash. I also, prior to the rash, had a spine out of alignment. No real bad pain with it. Just couldn't raise my arms in front. The other day I had that sensation again through my collar bone area. But the feeling only lasted 5 or 10 minutes.



It is wierd having an unexplained rash.



The rash is mainly my arms but has spread to other areas once the blisters dried up.

Hi,

According to your complaints it seems to be an eczematous rash. I have recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet cetrizine 10 mg twice daily and apply topical steroid & antibiotic combination on affected areas twice daily for 10 days.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
