Drug rashes
-
Drug rashes are a side effect of a drug that manifests as a skin reaction.
- Drug rashes usually are caused by an allergic reaction to a drug.
- Typical symptoms include redness, bumps, blisters, hives, itching, and sometimes peeling, or pain.
- Every drug a person takes may have to be stopped to figure out which one is causing the rash.
- Most drug rashes resolve once the drug is stopped, but mild reactions may be treated with creams to decrease symptoms and serious reactions may require treatment with drugs such as epinephrine (given by injection), diphenhydramine , and/or a corticosteroid to prevent complications.
