What Causes Rashes On The Body While On Symbicort?

Hi Dr., My name is Warren, Im a fairly fit 45 year old male. My family and I just moved to Sydney (2 months ago) About two weeks ago, I needed to get a prescription renewal for Symbicort ( for my Asthma)... from the Dr. here. Coincidentally, over this same time period I seem to have developed a skin rash that comes and goes ( usually i feel it flaring up around 4.30pm in the afternoon... and then randomly during the day. Its not that the rash is highly visible but the skin itches. The regions of the body include the sides of my feet, my calves, top part of my chest, my private area, my underarms, my hands, sometimes my wrist ( the inside part just above the palm)... and sometimes my lower back... the symptoms lasts about 2 minutes then subsides. i HAVE USED Symbicort for a few years now , without any issues...Could you assist? Thanks and Regards, Warren Palmer

Hello,

It may be due to allergic eruption.
As first line management you can take an antihistamine like cetirizine for symptomatic relief.
If lesion persists better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
