How Can A Bright Red Rash In The Armpit Be Treated?
My son is detoxing from mellaril he has been taking 4 over 30 yrs he has a Brite rash under his arm what shall I use on it and he has not slept in sevarel days. All the sleeping meds they have given work opposite on him. He has a paradoxical effect. What can I do for him waiting now for doctor to call.
Hello sir/madam, Welcome to healthcaremagic. I can certainly understand your concern I have worked through your query in detail.
there is nothing to worry about the brite rash in the armpit, as this could be due to the common allergic side effect of mellaril, ie thioridazine( typical antipsychotic), you can start him on cetrizine to get rid of that rash
you have mentioned that he has a paradoxical effect due to sedatives, you can start him on benzodiazepines like clonazepam in the night with initial minimum doses to combat with his sleep, and start on some SSSRI's like Escitalopram in the morning if he have any symptoms of anxiety
Please check with your physician if he shares my view Post your further queries if any. Thank you
