Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone's child has dealt with this side effect of Naprosyn. has been on Naprosyn consistently for 1 1/2 years. Over the weekend I noticed tiny little scabs on her nose. I also noticed a scratch on her cheek. We happened to pick up pictures that we had taken over a month ago, and the scratch on the cheek and one tiny scab was on her nose way back then. I am calling her doctor this morning. He has wanted her off the Naprosyn anyway, and I am sure that is what he is going to say to do. What other NSAIDS can a child take, if taken off of Naprosyn for facial scarring? Are the scars permanent? Can Zantac cause it? What did your child's face look like? I have read some descriptions, and doesn't seem to have large blisters, etc. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Hello! Yes, it was the pseudoporphyria that she had. You really can't tell now that she had it unless you look very, very closely. She has a lot of freckles, so it sort of blends right into her freckles. It took a very long time to stop happening, and a very long time for the scars to fade so that they aren't noticeable. She has dirty blonde hair and hazel eyes. I guess blue eyes/gray eyes are a risk factor for developing pseudoporphyria. Now that she is back on an NSAID, I plan to be very diligent with the sunblock. > > > > > > Well I got an interesting call today from the neurologist office and they were just a bit perturbed about having to do all the paperwork to justify the medication for Jaye.? She was not upset with me but with insurance.? She had to ask me a couple of questions and then she said the rest of the questions had to be answered by the doctor. When I checked with the pharmacy today to see about the medication they had approved her new arthur med. She is on relafen I guess now. The generic name is Nabumetone, the pharmacist said it is quite a bit stronger then the mobic, she was on 7.5 mgs of mobic and now she is on 500 mg tabs of this twice per day.?Fortunatly she is?already on prevacid, the pharmacist said this will probably cause more?tummy trouble then the mobic did.?So we will see how this works, at least she has three weeks before school starts to get used to the new med to see if it will cause problems. I just hope that it kicks in quick and helps her.? she is in less pain today then she has been all week with her feet so maybe it is getting better on it's own.? Anyone that has been on?Relafen let me know?what side effects to expect. The pharmacist basically just discussed the tummy trouble with?me.? Although he?seemed to make me think that it is not as effective as many other arthur med's.?? > > > > > > Veri & Jaye ? 15 poly > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 I think my girl ( 4 years old) as the same, but it's hard to get her doctors involved.. like they don't really know it can be a side effect of naproxen... And also it's not easy to find information abour pseudoporphyria on the internet... I wish I had someone to talk to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
