Guest guest Report post Posted April 12, 2008 YES!!!! I used to break out in hives after taking Singulair. I am no longer taking it. 15 minutes after taking it I'd start to get a rash around my throat and then it would spread downward acros my chest. After a second week of taking/breaking out in hives it my doctor took me off of it. Have you talked to the doctor who prescribe Singulair?! --- JoyCarol and <jclutterbuster@...> wrote: > saw my gastroenterologist to schedule a colonoscopy > and he noticed the > rash across my collarbone exposed by my top button > being undone.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 12, 2008 Do you use any topical steroids on your rash. My daughter broke out in hives and they did a patch test because they thought it was due to a contact allergy. Turns out she developed a allergic reaction to the topical steroid creams she was using for her eczema rash. Talk about irony, Good luck finding the cause, Jean ---- JoyCarol and <jclutterbuster@...> wrote: > saw my gastroenterologist to schedule a colonoscopy and he noticed the > rash across my collarbone exposed by my top button being undone.

Guest guest Report post Posted March 25, 2009 I have had quite a few skin issues in the last 5 years. I developed a sensitivity to UV light and can't go to a taning bed anymore or lay in the sun. I have to use very strong sunblock on my face because I develop melasma (brown patches) on my forehead and the sides of my cheeks. It does not hurt or itch, but it looks terrible. Like giant age spots. Also, I had shingles rash 5 years ago over my hip joint, which was followed by joint aches. There has also been a numb, scaly, quarter-size patch of skin on the outside of my left ankle. It seems to be getting darker and lighter with joint pain flares. Just about nothing would surpise me about this condition anymore. You should call your doctor. Hope you get the problem resolved and feel better soon.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 3, 2010 When my nt food allergy guy has the hives, they've always gone away at some point. I've only had two times that I've used Benadryl for hives but other allergic reaction when trying to figure the poor guy out. Amazing results. One was his first ingestion with peanuts, not good. I know many don't like Benadryl, but if they go away, to me it means he's allergic to something. Laundry detergent, soaps, foods, something..... Prednisone would also get rid of them. But again, short term correction and you'll need to figure out what it is. You can always back off all his supplements, it could be causing issues. Our last major rash, two was from digestive enzymes, Houston. Guessing the flavoring. Not familiar with die off reactions myself. Tammy [ ] Re: Hives It started 2 months ago with welts on his rear end. then on and off he will get what looks like a large mosquito bite bump with a red patch of skin around it, looks like a hive- on his back or legs. But last night he had both welts and those red bumps like your son did. This has been going on for months now and no Dr we see can help us, not even a DAN!. Is there anything I can do for him to make the hives go away? > > He has been undergoing yeast treatments with nizoril, then GSE (we noticed the hives just a few days after we started the GSE), then nystatin and now nizoral again. > > > My guess is that either he does not tolerate the GSE, or it is yeast die off. Does it look like this? > > http://www.danasview.net/3_rash.jpg > > This is a picture of my #3 with herpes die off symptoms, but when I first posted it on a message board, most of the replies said it looked like yeast or yeast die off. So if your child's skin looks like this, and just after GSE, it might be yeast die off. > > Dana > Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
