Could The Severe Rashes Be Due To Lidocaine Shots Or Topical Ointment?
Hello, my husband has developed a sudden and moderately severe rash (hives?). He has most recently had lidocaine shots and topical ointment. He also has started to take Lipitor and Diovan within the last 2 months. Could the rash be caused by these medications and is it serious? Thank you.
I have gone through your query and the rash could be related to these medicines.
It is not a very serious condition but can persist if the medicines continue.
I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet Cetirizine once daily for 10 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
