What Causes A Round Large Rash On The Shoulder While On Duromine?

I have been taking duromin for about 1 week. I have felt well and no side effects that I know off. I have found a round rash on the top of my shoulder quit large , I have scratched it and it has not spread. Ive never had a rash like this before , its as big as a 10c piece. Could this be a side effect from Duromin.

Hi,

Yes this could be drug induced but it more seems to be ring worm infection (Fungal infection) and I would suggest to try Miconazole gel first, if this fails to responds then anti-histamine along with steroid can be tried orally and best drug of choice would be Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day and Tab Dexamethasone 10 mg three times in day for at least three days, if still the lesion is there then it needs to be clinically examined.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain Shaikh
