Took Premarin For Night Sweats. Developed Faint Flat Rash On Legs. What Is The Treatment?
I was having night sweats and hot flashes which I attributed to a need for an increase in my Premarin.....they diminished when I upped my HRT dose however, at the same time the sweats started (4 months ago), I developed a faint flat rash on my lower legs...painless and not itchy...the rash is extensive now tho' still only on my legs...pale and almost unoticeable when I first get up in the morning but becomes a dark and angry red within an hour or so. Otherwise I am healthy and still work full time...(I'm 68)
???Vasculitis??
Hello, Thanks for the query. You have developed an allergic reaction to premarin. Like any other drug even premarin can cause reactions. Please apply a mild steroid cream. This will control the inflammation. Try to stop the drug and see response. sometimes a change in brand also is helpful.
Let me know if you have any other doubt. you can ask a direct question to me on this forum, following the below link. http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-rahul-kumar/64818
