Skin reaction to ibuprofen or benzonatate? small very itchy bumps on my torso that become water filled in hot sunny weather. what do i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Drug reaction?: NSAIDs may be associated with sun sensitivity but one can only tell by the absence of problem when not using an NSAID and reappearance upon restarting it. If this is not the issue, then you will have to check for other kinds of photosensitizers and see a dermatologist if the problem persists.
