i started taking vitamin c and vitamin e on monday and i have a bumpy itchy rash on my back. that is only thing i can think of that was different. i have always take calcium and multi vitamin so i know it was not them. i will stop taking the vitamin e and vitamin c and see what happens but be careful and watch for rashes if you use vitamins.

Yes, good point-I'm wondering if it could be from some type of filler in the vit?
My housemate cannot seem to tolerate B vits, he gets a hive rash! Too bad cause I think he really needs those vitamins! |

Usually the rule of thumb is that a drug eruption, or reaction to something
taken orally...(some strawberry/raspberry/food allergies) is not typically localized to one area of the body. Usually the eruption is more global. Eruptions that are only in one spot, can indicate something external was contacted and reacted to. This can be soap used to wash clothes, fabric softeners, shampoos, body washes, perfumes, etc. Here is a good website about cutaneous drug reactions: http://www.umm.edu/altmed/ConsCondit...actionscc.html notice this section of the website: Quote:
you cannot tolerate. Or you have come into contact with something else. There are rashes associated with viruses, and these are called viral exanthems. Here is a good article with pictures about them: http://dermatology.cdlib.org/93/revi...ral/scott.html scroll down to Pityriasis rosea... which is very common. While children are most often involved, adults get exanthems too. Buttons--- look on your Bcomplex list and see if Niacin is in there, as niacin, not nicotinamide. Niacin causes flushing is some people. The flushing can be blocked by taking an aspirin 1 hr before the niacin.(if a person can safely take aspirin, that is).
