Accepted Answer

Need more info: You are a "real trooper" to put up with this dermatological problem for so long. Lisinopril does have a history of causing adverse significant side effects. My best advice is to get a second opinion from a dermatologist. Your family physician may be able to help you in this regard.

Question 7

is it possible to develop a skin rash just from dry skin or are skin rashes caused by allergies?

Accepted Answer

Yes: and in the case of dry skin, one may see small raised bumps especially at the extremities. These will often be prevented by using a moisturizer with 3 minutes after bathing. A rash can also be induced by scratching as well. Some skin rashes are caused by allergies (often contact, drug etc) while many are not.

Question 8

i have allergy, probably to ponstan 500. the skin rash is nearly gone after 5 days, but now i start to have really bad rashes. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Something else?: If the rash improved without treatment only to return a few days after (your dates were not defined), then the problem may be from something other than the drug implicated.  If the rash was treated and returned after the treatment was stopped, then the rash (if due to the drug) may last for 2-3 weeks.

Question 9

my friend has a skin rash, he said it started out small and just it started to spread. red areas and is itchy. what kind of rashes could it be?

Accepted Answer

Multiple causes: If could be related to bites/scabies or may have started from something his skin came in contact with. Have your doctor examine it to make the diagnosis and begin proper treatment. All the best

Question 10

skin rash since 6 days, dr diagnosd as viral exanthem. prescribd triamcelone ointment & atarax. rashes are increasing, spreading all over. is this nr?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: If it is a viral exanthem it will continue coming out until it fades. It represents a combination of dead virus and antibodies that leak out of capillaries under the skin.Sometimes a hot shower or bath will speed the process. It is usually faded within 2 wks. The atarax is for any itching an the steroid cream is ????. I suppose they give you something to do.
