Red Oval Shape Patches,taking Pro-biotic, Excessive Thirst. Caused By Pro-biotic?
Red patches, oval shape, appear in various places on my body but not all at the same time. Could these patches be caused by a medication such as a pro-biotic for digestion? I started taking a probiotic about 2-3 months ago and since then I have had about 7 of these skin eruptions which look kind of like ringworm. I have been experiencing excessive
thirst every evening so I usually drink about 3 to 4 12 ounce glasses or water each evening.
