Peter has been experiencing a new symptom of *something* for the past 3 weeks....a rash that appears on his arms (in the elbow area) and later on his hips, and seems to be spreading. In fact, I first noticed a big reddish/itchy/bumpy area on the top of his head, which the internist thought might be related to blepharitis. Lots iof itching/scratching going on here, folks, and it isn't getting better. The only fairly recent change we could think of was that he had started to tAKE A MULTI-VITAMIN/MINERAL SUPPLEMENT, but I stopped it a week ago, and the rash is still spreading. He has just started on ReQuip (ropinerole) as of yesterday, so that can't be to blame. Any suggestions? Is a dermatologist the one to see? Have other PWPs had problems with rashes? Any thoughts will be appreciated! He takes Sinemet ,Prozac, Trimethoprim(antibiotic for bladder infections), Lactulose, Propulsid, Florinef, & vitamin C.
