I have had an itchy rash on my lower and upper legs for a few months now. Coincidentally it started when I started taking SSRIs again. It was also on my right wrist and left arm with itching on the back of my hands as well but my legs were also itchy. The doctor has given me umpteen creams like steroid creams, moisturisers, aqueous with menthol. he gave me creams to rule out scabies a while ago and that only got rid of the rashes on my wrist and arm. The backs of my hands still itch and there are some red itchy sores on both legs but the worst is at the top of my left leg. I was last given Canesten to use over a week ago but the problems persist. I have a history of anxiety and depression but have had lots of therapy for this, both psychotherapy and I am now on Serrtraline so I am feeling better in that respect. I also have Fibromyalgia and suffer many other problems such as chronic fatigue, memory and concentration problems, joint pains all over my body (although the SSRIs have helped this somewhat). I also have some itching in my scalp. I am worried this may be an HP rash so can you confirm?
Thank you
