Cause for rash on both sides of face along with itching?
Patient: out of the blue I have a rash on both sides of my face has circular shapes and colored inside circle.itchy.ijust had hernia surgery 3 weeks ago..rash is spotty.some of the rash doesn t have circles.not sure if the percoset has anything to do with this?i have looked at pictures on line and cant seem to match it up. Doctor: Hi. Thanks for posting your concern.Judging from the description it seems to be an Urticarial drug rash.If i was your treating doctor i would have put you on oral antihistamines like cetrizine or loratadine once or twice daily for  a week.Depending on the severity of rash you might require a shot of hydrocortisone OR Pheniramine which can be repeated every 6 hours.Topical soothing lotion e.g calamine will help sooth the itching and discomfort associated with it.regards
