What Causes Rashes On Legs After Using Inhaler For Asthma?

Hi, I have had asthma my whole life. My asthma has reduced to sports related asthma. Last week I had chest pain, and my inhaler did not help. This week I was starting to get a rash on my legs, but it may be from shaving. (most likely not) Is this problem from my inhaler? I'm 15 and i'm 120 pounds.

The rash appears to be part of your allergy since you also suffer from asthma which is also due to allergy. Yes it could also be due to shaving so avoid for some time. Inhalers are unlikely bto cause rash though sometimes one can be allergic to them. Consult a dermatologist.
