What Causes Rashes On The Torso While On Percocet?
I recently had a dental procedure & was given percocet for the pain. I have taken this before, but have developed a rash over my torso. I have never had a reaction like this before, should I stop taking the medication? it is terribly itchy, is there something better than benedryll that I can take?
It can be due to some fungal infection for which you can take antibiotics like cefadroxyl or zifi-cv after an expert opinion along with cetrizine or Avil itching or rashes. Apply clonet lotion or clo-trimazole cream locally over the affected area. You can take steroids if not improved with above treatment.
