Well: Call your prescribing doctor and let him know what is going on. Describe the rash well or go in to see your doctor. Then you will know the source and cause of the rash

Usually lamictal: is stopped if a rash appears . Lamictal has a FDA black box warning for possible development of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, toxic epidermal necrolysis,/ and rash-related death. The numbers are quite low - but one should air on the side of caution. You are on a low- dose- I would stop the medication now and call your prescribing medical provider in the morning.
