Hi,
Duromine (phentermine) can cause urticaria like lesions in some individuals. If troublesome, we may need to withdraw or replace the drug. Kindly discuss with your doctor. Meanwhile, using an emollient like calamine lotion and antihistamine like Levocetirizine can offer symptomatic relief.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
