Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

You must consult your Dermatologist as soon as possible for the treatment of the rash. As, the condition is getting worse, I request you to rush to the doctor immediately. Also, you have to consult your Neurologist later for providing alternate drug in place of Depakote, after consulting your Dermatologist.

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