What Causes Itchy Skin Post Aleve Intake?
I generally take Ibuprofen as an anti-inflammatory with no side-effects. But following a recent surgery, my doctor recommended Aleve. Yesterday, I started getting severe itching and burning on my face. My face gradually turned very red and warm to the touch. Could this be a reaction to Aleve?
