i had the rash but it seems to have eased now it took 7 months but it does get better ,my hair is very thin but all what the down sides will hopefully be worth it good luck
I mostly have just the itchy dry skin. Early in tx I got the red bumps on my shins, furious itching and flaking skin. I'm allergic to benadryl so I used oatmeal baths and lots of lotion. The rash on my shins went away in a few weeks, the dry skin goes on and on.
Most of rashes are related to riba. i saw the dermtoglist just to be certain, and she actually biopsyed one of the bumps to be sure. I would just have them look at it and basically in my experiene if its from the riba, you will have to find what works for you. Bendraly may help, Read threads on riba rash its been discuseed alot.
peace
What did your doctor say the rashes indicated? Anything important? Did she say if they might be related to anything positive or negative going on in your body? I suppose I'll have to see a stupid VA doctor today (more likely I'll see an intern or a P.A) . That's never a fun thing. :(
here is my rash story maybe it will help!
one is site reactions. around your injections sides circular red, sometimes swollern, lasting almost two weeks after the shot.
the orther are acutal bumps on my chester and back and scalp, they itch horribley
and lastesly the dry skin rash thats all over, not a rash just very dry skin that itches.
i have tried everything over the counter and prescribed. here is whats getting me through the day right now:
showers not baths, luke warm water
aveno and gold bond
prozac 10 mg (helps reduces itching)
lots of water
good luck
peace
