A member asked:

Since i been taking these ibuprofen, 600mg, these weird painful bumps been appearing. but i've been taking 2 at a time. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ibuprophen bumps: Several possibilities. You may be having a allergic reaction or a sensitivity reaction to the ibuprofen. You should stop this completely to see if the bumps clear up. See your doctor about other medications.
