Brief Answer:
Youneed to consult an Internalmedicine doctor asap
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for consulting HealthcareMagic!
Side effects in the form of skin eruptions like maculopapular rash have been reported with the use of lamotrigine in some individuals. But, your rash can be due to other causes as well unrelated to lamotrigine use. You need to consult an XXXXXXX medicine doctor as soon as possible. I do not think going to an emergency room is immediately required but if you have associated symptoms like swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, wheezing, difficulty breathing, then immediately rush to ER. However, you need to consult an XXXXXXX medicine doctor as soon as possible.
