Neurologist,  's  Response
if you having red rashes with itching, it can be
1) allergic reaction to some drug/food/skin contact item
2) any primarily skin pathology.

Even you have already been on eptoin for last 6 months without any reaction, still there is chance of allergic reaction to eptoin.
you should consult dermatologist. If dermatologist conclude it to be allergic rash and if you not taking any medication other than eptoin, you should stop eptoin and switch on another antiepileptic medicine (Better to avoid carbamazepine, phenobarbitone also as they have some common properties as with eptoin in causing allergic reaction).
