What Causes Rashes On The Legs In A Diabetic?
My husband was prescribed a antifungal medication for a rash on his legs. He was prescribed this for 15 days, but after 2 days he became ill, within the 3 weeks since getting this medication he has been hospitalized for medical induced hepatitis.. he has been in 3 hospitals. He has severe liver damage & today was told that his pancrease my now be affected and possible onset of diabetes.. this is from a man that has never been sick or had any surgeries.. Do you have any thoughts on this?? We threw away the mess, so I don t have the name, I have a copy of the script but am unable to read the name of the Medes..

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it could be liver pathology but it may not be due to the medicines given but it could be due to some infection like virus, it could be systemic or metabolic disease.
With testing it can be easily diagnosed, what is the underlying cause of liver pathology or cause of damage and without this it can not be said that the anti-fungal is the cause of damage
hope this information helps.
