A member asked:

Recent irritation in skin, could this be due to change in medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Too vague: "Irritation" means just that: something rubbing or burning, irritating. "Change in medication" has no meaning without specifics of exactly which meds and why the change. No answer is possible without knowledge about the nature of the skin disturbance and details about all meds.
