Suggest Remedy For Rashes

I have gout, I just got over a 10 week flare up. I tried allopurinol and had a terrible reaction, rash, headache muscle aches.I am now drinking cherry juice every day. I just had baby back ribs, broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots with a baked potato. Now I am worried I will have another flare up. What should I do to prevent this from happening? Thanks

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Regarding the rash due to Allopurinol, I request you to confirm whether the rash is due to Allopurinol or any other drug or a viral fever.

To confirm this, you must visit your dermatologist and you must get treated from him/her for the rash. Also, you should take an alternate drug for Allopurinol, if your rash is due to Allopurinol. This could be done by your Rheumatologist/Orthopedician.

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