Hi Doctor, I realised that i randomnly get rashes on my skin near my jaws and a little below that,on my neck and they are slightky itchy and quite uncomfortable. They come and dissapear in some time. I used to always relate it to my sentitve skin condition. Also, i have dandruff so i thought its due to that. But i didnt have this problem beofre.. I belive this starteted almost 3 yrs back after i got married. I am 29 now. I am on lyrica and benfomet . I am diagonised with fibromyalgia . I have c5-c6 disc buldge and L5-s1. I feel strange pain in ribs and it hurts when i am getting up from bed or sitting for a little long.. It comes in phases and then goes off for couple of months. I am very confused why all this is hapenning. Also, i get some rash near my wrist near the palm area now and then and right now near my ankle,,sometimes near my stomach also..all these things are not more than a year old. Please help.

Dermatologist 's  Response
Thanks for posting the qwery.
These rashes might be due to drug allergy or seborrhoeic dermatitis I.e. dandruff on skin.
Drug allergy may be due to medications you are taking for fibromyalgia. If you withdraw the offending medications, your symptoms might subside. Seborrhoeic dermatitis can be tackled by proper antifungal lotions and creams.
Take antihistamines I.e. anti allergic medicines and topical moisturising creams along with calamine lotion to reduce itchiness and discomfort.
Proper dermatological evaluation of this condition is necessary.
Hope for speedy recovery.

Thanks
