I have rash on temple area of face from Allopurinol.. Stopped taking the drug for 2 days now. The rash seems to have gotten a little better, but there is some swelling on that area and near eye. I was told by my doctor, who is a specialist to stop the medication if rash occurred. Is the swelling a normal side effect?
MD HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern the given history suggested the hypersensitivity reaction due to the drug called "Allopurinol" in very rare case this drug induces the reaction but the eruption of rash goes away as soon as you stop taking the drug and nothing to worry...
Is there a treatment for the rash associated with low potassium? It looks like she has been scalded with hot water.

My daughter is 7. She developed a rash on her arms, face and chest. Two doctors appoitments later they gave her prednisone. Today was her last dose. I checked on her while sleeping and notcied the rash is back. It comes and goes. What do I do. What could it be.
MD Hi,
Diagnoisis of rash involves thorough clinical examination, would sugest you to send us clinical photograph for further assesment.
If the rash is not associated with other symptoms then there should be no cause for concern.
Take care

I have a rash to the left of my left breast , on the right side of my stomach and lower back area and in head. It is very itchy. it started with the head, then beside left breast and now right and lower back area. What could this be? I am takeing kolopin and I am weening myself off of this medication , Could this cause this type of rash? also, i usually use ivory soap, we were out for a couple of days and I used safegaurd. Could this be it? Although the head I spoke to my dr and he gave me medicine a while back. said it was psoriosis.
MD Hi
Apparently, you are using the medicine and the soap for quite some time - less likely to cause a new event like this
The distribution of your rash does not suggest a definite diagnosis
Psoriasis is diagnosed by seeing and/or at times scraping and blood tests. Your doctor is the best person to...
My 5 yr old son has a rash/hive on his inner thigh that I believe to be ringworm. We went to the doctor today, before I knew about the rash, and the PA (there is no MD) said his wbc's were elevated and his ear canals were agitated and red. We were scripted a braod specrum antibiotic and sent on out way. I know that this won't help a fungal infection and I am hesitant to give it to my child and wrecking his flora and ph..Any advice will help. i have covered the rash with tea tree oil, neat.
MD rashes over inner thigh could be fungal or due to friction on inner thighs.can use moisturizers,anti histamines and and can give anti fungals after seeing the rashes.
i have a rash that started about two months ago on my chin and now its going around my mouth, i have not changed anything in my diet or and face creams or new medication. only thing that has changed is i stopped takeing my st.johns wort. i am 29 5'7" white
MD You have not given any history of itching or scales over rashes. Considering log duration, it can be fungal or allergic rashes. Local examination by a dermatologist is requered. If fungal then aplication of candidb is suitable. If allergic application of betnovate ointment will be effective.
yeah i had intercorse with a male im a male to and um he didnt put lub on cause there wasnt any and excuse my lang but up i was just super horny to care. not my hole has redness like a rash is it possible that its just a friction burn from not useing lube?
MD it is due to friction during sex because of absence of lubricants. use of lubricant is very important to prevent it and incontinence. so don't worry you will be fine soon. hope my answer is helpful and thankful for you. take care. and have a happy and healthy life.

MD My 10 year old had a bump on the outer part of her vagina, close to pubic bone. Had a fever for 3 days, went to ER and they prescribed her with medicine for an abscess.

MD Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...(To preface, my son has an egg allergy and has been unable to get a lot of the vaccines given to children at his age.) My 18 month old son has had a fever varying from 101 - 103 Monday thru Wednesday night. It has been controlled by alternating tylenol and ibuprofen. I took him last night to our after hour clinic to be sure it wasn t an ear infection. Ears looked fine, but his lymph nodes were swollen and his throat was red - Strep test came back negative. Said it was probably a virus. He woke up this morning with no fever, so I assumed the virus had taken it s course. However, this evening, I have noticed a rash on his belly, back and neck. they are small red bumps that aren t raised very much. They don t seem to be bothering him too much. I hate to take him to the doctor again if it s nothing, but I don t want to ignore something if it s potentially dangerous for him. Should we give him Benedryl? Should we take him to the ER tonight or wait to talk to my doctor in the morning?
