Used Lyrica. Caused Pain And Patches With Side And Back Calves Of Legs. Prescribed Oilatum Bath Oil And Oilatum Cream. Remedy?

I used lyrica for almost 2 weeks early Feb but it caused me to have lots of pain/big patches of thin purple veins appeared along with bright red patches to the side and back calves of my legs these have appeared on the top &sides of my feet & at night the Palms of my hands are also bright red - these very painful patches are spreading and extremely unsightly. I have been prescribed oilatum bath oil &shower gel + the oilatum cream.
I was involved in a non fault road accident April 1997 and have severe nerve endings along with severe whiplash - I still had my hand brake on when I was hit from behind. The only pain medication that has agreed with my system is Tyler. Which allows me 50% pain relief. Unfortunately, I now have Morton's nueroma which makes walking somewhat difficult. I was going to request an appointment with a skin specialist unless you have any good suggestions 're treatment for my skin?
My thanks for your time.

Hi,
You do not worry about the pain and patches with side and back calves of legs. It is is the normal sequel to get rash as a hypersensitiy. It will be alright in next few weeks if you are not disturbing it. The only precaution you must follow is not to touch, pinch pop or squeeze any of them other wise it can get infected and can cause complications.
