Probably my situation isn't the same as Peter's, but this would be a good time for me to ask about my own "rash". Actually, I guess there are two of them, & both have been present for a couple years -- with all the more serious stuff going on, I haven't asked the doc about this yet. One involves a sunburn-like flush; if I press with my finger a white spot appears, then reddens over again. It's always present. This is especially prominent just below the front of my neck, but occurs on my arms, too, etc. The other is on the front of my neck & is darker red blotches. What it looks like to me is that I blew out some capillaries or something. There's quite a bit of it. Any ideas? I take Sinemet, Paxil & Trazadone.

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.
