Yes, I Started Taking Plaquenil For Arthritis 1 Month Ago.
Yes, I started taking Plaquenil for arthritis 1 month ago. I took it for 2 weeks without any problems. I then developed a generalized rash with itching on my entire trunk are, some on arms and anterior thighs. It is still red & itching. I have used Fluticasone .05 that I had at home , 1-2 x's/day & not really helping. Should I ask Dermatology for something else? Do I need po steroids to get relief. I have read this med can stay in my system for up to 6 months.??
