Taking Daphne After Delivery. Suffering From Skin Rashes In Arms And Legs. Should I Change Medicine?

Hello. I ve been taking Daphne 6 weeks after I gave birth. In the first 5 months, my skin was soft and no rashes came out. However, just recently, for almost 2 weeks now, I started two suffer from skin rashes, specifically my arms and legs. I can t understand why is this happening. I was planning to buy another brand (Diane-35) yet my friend told me that according to her OB, before changing pills of another brand, one must undergo pamsper (which I m afraid to go through). Can you advice me on this? Thanks.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for the query,

The chance of this rash being drug rash is very low as you have been using the drug since 5 months.

You might have developed a viral exanthem.

According to me there is no need to stop or change drug.

Even then if you want to change, you can do that without much worry.

Brands can be easily changed.

Just notice that the drug content should be same.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
