Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Can Joint Pain Medicine, Vicodin, Cause Itchy Rashes?
I have been taking vicodin for years for joint and shoulder pain. In the last three months I have started itching all over and when I scratch long enough I will break out in a very fine rash. Could the vicodin cause the itching now even if I have not had a problem with it all these years?
