Could Propofol Be Causing Full Body Systemic Rash?

I had a bad reaction to propophol which was used during a colonoscopy. I have heard that there is a known side effect of severe skin reactions to propophol in children with egg allergy. I am not allergic to eggs (nor am I a child!) but have been dealing with this full-body, systemic rash since late July and have been working with my dermatologist to clear it up. Have you familiarity with anything like this?

Hi,

I have gone through your complaints and Propofol can cause an allergic skin rash. I would recommend you to take antihistaminic like tablet Cetrizine twice daily and take apply cortisone cream on the affected areas twice daily for few days.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
