What Causes Itchy Bumps On The Body After Taking Dexilant?
I am 43, i started taking Dexilant due to reflux. After taking Dexilant for a week, i started having itchy then breakout in small bumps and different size welts. I have been off Dexilant for over a week and I am still having itchy skin with rash and welts. They go away after a few minutes and then return a few hours later. I have been going through this everyday now. What can i do.

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to an allergic reaction to Dexilant.
I recommend using antihistamines such as Levocetirizine to relieve the itching.
I also recommend applying steroid lotion for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
