A member asked:

Is it possible to be allergic to albuterol? really itchy hives developed in groin area (havent really need albuterol in a while but now i do)

Dr. John Chiu answered

Remote: I have never heard of it especially when little albuterol enters your blood stream. If suspect that you may have a viral infection which has exacerbated your asthma and it is the viral infection which has caused the rash. I am more concerned over your asthma and you should see your doc soon about it since regular use can actually worsen your asthma.
