What Causes Rashes On Arms And Chest After Having Abortion Pill?
Brief Answer:
Reevaluate, change drug or increase dosage, Antihi
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the query,
The image with the skin eruptions would likely not be due to the abortion pill. If it were due to the pill, these symptoms would have appeared immediately after the pill was taken. It could be a possibility if they appeared immediately and maybe have been increasing in gravity with time.
It might be of interest to know if they are itching or not. If yes, anti itching drugs like Anti histaminics (Primalan(R), Aureus (R), Chlorpheniramine ) could be added to your treatment plan. Steroids are appropriate.
It might be of interest however to recheck on what could have certainly caused this. If steroids are not working, it might be because the causative agent, may be an allergy to something might still be around. In case there is any pus around, associated antibiotics could be useful.
Systemic steroids (orally or injectable) could be needed at some point to get a remarkable effect, or the steroid could simple be changed. If itches, associate anti itch drugs like Anti histamines.
Kind regards,
Dr Bain
