Took Calcium Pill, Face Broke Into Bump, Rashes, Itchy. Allergy?
My question is my whole face broke out into a little pink bump rash a few days ago now it has turned into scaley dry skin. Also I have been having an Icy cold feeling in my knees and when I step into the bath tub the tops of my feet burn like they have been scratched.. also I have been coughing infection up but I do not feel sick.. I have also recently started taking a calcium pill which I only took one of and this happened.. I am thinking maybe canbe allergic to calcium? When I eat sour cream or cheese cake it tickles the back of my throat but no reaction other then that. Please help me!

Very unlikely and rare to see allergy to calcium. I would like to rule out Diabetes in your case by getting fasting and random blood sugar level checked.
Burning feet can be seen in vitamin deficiency and also diabetic. Suggest you to see your physician.
Take care
