So going back ti feb i had covid, had burning skin as was super sensitive.
Then i was given heart medication for pots, i started the heart meds end of march. After 4-5 days of taking them i startef looking hot faces spotty/rashy. I went to the gp who said it’s probably hormonal and to carry on with medication. I carried on for 3 weeks then the face looked soo rashy and itchy a different dr said stop. Ive stopped the meds now
just over 2 weeks. It got Better after like 1.5 weeks and now im abit itchy again and i sat outside in the sun and it was very red and angry.
im due to go abroad next week and im soo nervous i dont want to go due to my face and itching.
i saw the GP yesterday and i mentioned roscea and he said try some cream (soolantra)?
my niece now also has got a facial rash?
so im thinking is it the tablets? Roscea? Or a virus?
im soo confused, the dr doesnt know. Just wanna know if anyone has any advice or similar story. I am taking strong antihistamines from the GP.
Thankyou for reading :)
