Hi dear thanks for writing to Healthcare Magic!!
Rash and skin reaction are the commonest side effect mainly of rejoint, as it has a strong systemic action. To counter that use calamine lotion on affected area, do not scratch the area but you can use ice, Vit A cream and ointment will help you. You can also ask your doctor to taper the dose if required.
Hope this information helps
Thanks and regards
