What Causes Outbreak Of Rashes Post Intake Of Aleve In Person With Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

I developed a rash after taking Aleve. I am allergic to sulphate drugs and a relative of penicillin. I have carpal tunnel syndrome and occasionally other aches or pains. I was told to take aspirin, but the package says not to take if allergic to other NSAID products. What do you think?

Thank you for using our service. If you took aleve, it is also a nonsteroidal antoinflammatory drug. That is why you had the rash. It looks like you have allergy to aspirin and NSAID. Therefore, you should avoid this medication. I hope my advice was helpful. Thank you. -Dr.JC
