Brief Answer:
A reported side effect
Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns . it is very uncommon for Somac to cause skin rash or skin reaction but still a reported side effect that occurs in less than 1% of patients using Somac. I would recommend that you stop using it and refer to your doctor to prescribe an alternative medication .. I hope I answered your question . if you don't have any other clarifications then please close the discussion .
