Think Call to Dr!: This is a definite reason to tell your Dr ASAP. Don't just stop since it might be necessary to cover you for bad w/drawal issues. The Dr needs to know! If the symptoms worsen before you can see the Dr - go to an ER. You thought right! I'm glad you asked. Call now!

You would need: To see a healthcare provider for proper examination and diagnosis. Any rash or skin irruption's is very difficult to diagnose without direct examination. I would not advise you to self diagnose. However tapering off your Zoloft (sertraline) slowly over a couple of weeks should you choose to do so yourself is a safe Way to stop that medicine, not to quit cold turkey.
