Gold Bond reaction?

[pilgrim1951]

I know that many here have sung the praises of GB and I have been using it for a few weeks now.  Initially, it was very beneficial and soothing, but now it almost seems to be causing an irritation to the areas that itch.  I am covered, to one degree  or another, with a rash that started around week eight or nine while on the current teleapevir tial.  Only my feet, hands and head are free from the rash, but the itching is mostly confined to my torso, with some occasional areas on arms and legs.  For a few days now after the immediate cooling/soothing effect, my skin almost feels worse.  Has anybody found GB to be problematic like this?  I'm afraid that I am aggrevating the condition more than helping.    I'm just not sure if this is a natural progression of the rash or a reaction to the GB.  Thanks for all the info and support here.

I've never heard of any reaction to the GB but it sure does sound like the telepravir rash might be the problem.........it's much worse than the regular 'riba rash' that people on SOC get.

I only did SOC so I'm no expert but maybe if it's getting bad you should put a call in to the trial folks and let them take a look at it?  It could be an allergy to the GB or a rash but I don't think any of us could tell just by reading.

Whatever it is I hope it goes away for you!
