Question: I snorted some coccain last night and developed a rash on R shoulder

Answered by Dr. Shubham Mehta (29 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Take an anti-allergic medicine.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

You have mentioned that you have developed a skin on right shoulder.

Cocaine has tendency to cause some major skin reactions.

Also, there are high chances that you might be allergic to cocaine.

I think you would require an anti-allergic medicine like vistaril. (It has no interactions with ccocaine.) But you must consult your physician immediately. Donot take medicines on your own.

I would also advice you to stay away from cocaine.

Hope this helps you.
Any further queries are welcome.
Thanks.
