Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if intake of Depakote cause skin rashes which could be due to hormonal disturbances and allergic reaction of body and increased skin susceptibility of body getting infected. Need not to worry. The symptoms can also occur due to side effects of certain medicine like Depakote , so also discuss with doctor about it . You should take diet rich in multivitamins. Till then apply topical steroid e.g fluticasone propionate cream, twice daily at affected sites for 7- 10 days. Avoid touching or pricking rashes as it will exaggerate your situation. I would suggest you to visit dermatologist once and get it examined. You should go for patch test for allergic reaction. Start treatment after proper examination and diagnosis. Avoid intake of oily and fast food. You should not touch and prick them. Drink plenty of water.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
