Anyone know what the rash starts out like? My doc said it starts small...I seem to have 4-5 white, hive-like itch spots and am thinking about calling the docs tomorrow.

I broke out with the rash after being on the drug for only 4 days. Look for tiny red bumps on your skin that look like tiny red pimples if your skin is starting to itch that's one of the first signs of the rash. I broke out all over my arms, neck, back and face. If this is what you notice call your neuro immediately and then get to a dermatologist (skin specialist) who can do a biopsy on you to see if you are allergic to the drug. Also stay away from strong scented soap, shampoo, perfumes etc. I was told to use dove soap for sensitive skin and when you bath make sure you use lukewarm water because the hotter the water the quicker the rash will spread. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You! Sue |

Thanks, Sue. Trouble is, I have horrible heat rash 24/7/365...all year round due to the fact that I care for my grandmother and her house is always horribly hot, even with windows open. I think it's okay for now. I did call the docs but they didn't call me back. Good thing I don't think it's an emergency...
