I am and have been on dialysis for over 5 years. I have sessions twice a week for 3 hours. My medications consist of Plavix 75mg; 1 daily (due to previous TIA episodes) and an 81 mg aspirin. During dialysis I am given Citrasate solution instead of Heprin to prevent clotting during the session. Within the last year Zemplar (10MCG/2ML) has been administrated to reduce parathyroid levels and I also take Tums 1000mg before each meal for the same issue. My problem is that I have been developing a severe rash primarily on my forehead and scalp that starts during the dialysis session and continues for 24-48 hours. The rash causes my skin to peal due to the inflammation. This condition is growing worse to the point that it is difficult to even sleep during these episodes. I have know allergies to Allopurinol and Sulfa based medications. I have tried topical medications including hydrocortisone creams with little success. Since it is not likely that I can stop dialysis, I am looking for other possible remedies. Any suggestions? Thank you
