Thank you very much Mrs D.... i did discontinue it as soon as the rash appeared and it took a while for it to heal properly again, then after 10 days i started to take the original dose of 600 mg and had no problems what so ever and the broken skin continued to heal, i have not got many of ALA capsules left, so next time i will try the R lipioc instead and i will be very careful.
thanks so much for your reply.
