plaquenil allergy

plaquenil allergy

I took plaquenil for 3 days and started to get a very bad rash. Not only was I itchy but I started getting blisters and hardened, peeling skin. After 2 weeks it started getting better and now two weeks past that, the rash is back again and it seems to be effecting my breathing. I feel like I have asthma. It is very frightening. Is there anything I can do? I'm on prednisone and it is not helping this at all

I am currently going through the same thing.  I broke out with a rash and intense itching two weeks after I stopped taking Plaquenil because of headaches from Plaquenil.  I was given an injection of Kenalog and I am still taking prednisone as well as two antihistamines.  It is now going on four weeks and is much better but it is still there.  Hope you will get relief soon.
