Does Ibuprofen Cause Itchy Blisters On The Hands And Legs?
i just read that ibuprofen use can possibly cause a blister like rash. that it could cause SJS or TEN ... I have been taking ibuprofen pm for about a week now... and have unexplainable itchy blisters on the back of my legs and my belly and some on my hands... is it something I can treat with benedryl? will it go away now that I have stopped taking ibuprofen?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The blisters here after taking ibuprofen relate to the side effect of the drug itself.
My recommendations are: -Do not take further doses of Ibuprofen medicine. -Drink more liquids. -Keep the parts dry and clean with the antiseptic liquid. -Use of sprinkling dusting powder with Clotrimazole cream will help. -Take Benadryl tablet as per the itching intensity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Purva Patel
