Suggest Treatment For Itching Sensation And Tiny Welts On Forearms And Inner Thighs
Hi! I just switched to Gildess FE 1/20. I have been on it 6 days and have developed a systemic itch in my inner arms and thighs. The itching usually subsides with Benadryl, but now with the itching I m getting tinny welps all over my forearms and inner thighs.

Hi
You seem to have developed an urticarial skin rash which is basically an allergic skin rash due to the medicine you are taking .
Take some oral antihistamines like Benadryl or levocetrizine along to relieve the associated itching and allergy .
You might need to stop the medicine after consultation with your treating doctor .
I would advise you to see a nearby doctor soon for confirmation of the diagnosis and further management.
