What Causes Itching And Redness In Arms And Palms?
I have had three different statin tablets and because of muscle pains I stopped taking them. Because family history puts me in high risk category I have - under pressure from my doctor - started taking 5mg Crestor rosuvastatin. However, my arms and the palms my hands are itching like mad and are red and angry looking. Is this yet another side effect.
