Suggest Remedy For Skin Rash Spreading Throughout The Body

Not sure what is causing a rash to spread through my whole body. I have been on Zoloft for a few weeks and am breastfeeding my 6 month old. I noticed a rash on my arm last week, it has not gone away and is now spreading to my whole body. My neck, back, stomach, sides, and arms have the rash. What could this be?

Hi,

You are taking Zoloft (sertraline) for a few weeks. And you developed rash after that. So, it is likely to be the side effect of of sertraline.

Consult the dermatologist and have proper diagnosis immediately and get treatment accordingly. And also consult the psychiatrist to change the medicine for your problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
