What Causes Itchy Bumps On Elbow And Arms While On Clonazepam And Norco?
Hello, I have been taking Clonazepam 1 mg am & 2 mg PM. After one week I developed small very, very itchy bumps on my elbows, arms, spread out all over. I also had sever knee surgery and am taking Norco 7.5mg 4 x daily for a month. Benadryl is not helping or antihistamines. Please help!
Understanding your concern. Thanks for your query and as per your query you have itchy bumps on elbow and arms while on Clonazepam and Norco . There are some factors like our environment , heat , cold , pressure and sun exposure ,which can act as trigger factor . Insect bite , pollen and some plants can also cause such allerggc symptoms , side effects of certain medicine can also cause such symptoms . The most important thing is to find the trigger factor . I would suggest you to give cold compresses to hives several times a day to prevent from swelling and itching and take over the counter antihistamine drug like benadryl. If symptoms still persist the consult dermatologist for proper examination and treatment . Doctor may perform skin test and challenge to find out the trigger factor . Doctor may prescribe other steroid cream, anti inflammatory drug or drugs that can suppress immune system .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
