Bumpy rash: You may have developed hives from taking the supplement. Take Benadryl (diphenhydramine) to help the rash go away? It sometimes takes several days before the hives disappear

Natural not = safe: Some people are allergic to the shellfish component in glucosamine and chondroitin. Just a note. Simply because something is natural does not imply or guarantee safety or efficacy. Example, rattlesnake venom is natural, and it is a natural blood thinner. But it cannot be used medically because the venom is too deadly. Keep in mind that many natural things will kill you. So make sure to talk w/ Dr.
