nexium caused erythema multiforme now what can I take?

I have recently been diagnosed with EM(Erythema Multiforme). My dermatologist thinks that is is due to prolonged use of Nexium. So if I can no longer take Nexium for acid reflux what can I take?

Thanks.

You may also be able to switch to a histamine blocker which has a different mode of action. Some people find the H2 blockers effective.

Any number of PPIs such as Prevacid and Aciphex. If these are also problematic, talk to your doctor about surgical options, like fundiplication and the Plicator procedure.
