What Do Rashes On The Extremities Indicate?
I have a rash on my extremities. Take lots of meds(too many to mention). Rash covers from biceps to wrists and mid thighs to ankles. Have been taking a new med (Xtandi) but have been taking it for three months. Rash doesn't itch but I have had it for three days. No other symptoms.

Hi,
The drug-induced rash is usually associated with itching. Rashes due to viral fever is usually of short course.
As you have not mentioned about the duration of the rash, it would be difficult for me to come to a diagnosis.
I recommend you to consult your dermatologist for arriving at a proper diagnosis and for initiating the treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Siva Subramanian,
