A member asked:
I have a face rash and puffiness 6 days following lumbar epidural. what medications should i use to treat it? cortisol cream didn't seem to help.

Unlikely due to epid: When did the rash start? There is very little in an epidural that should cause a rash 6 days later. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) might hip if you have a medication allergy.

Epidural : Much will depend on why you had your epidural and what medications were used. The other possibility is that the condition is completely unrelated to the epidural but due to something else. Most epidural effects, whether local anesthetic's or opioids or steroids, are very self limited and should not cause longterm side effects. Typically time vs drugs would be the best option.
