What Causes Rashes On The Abdomen?

I am trying to find pictures or info on a rash that is possible from Methadone. My resident was put on increase and they added Lortab for breakthrough. He has a pimple like rash on his extremities, back and abdomen. He says it itches like crazy. His arms actually look like a huge welt

Hi.
As per your case history the patient is having allergic dermatitis.
My treatment advice is -
1. Avoid using any new products like soap or perfume.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like fusiderm-b cream twice daily on it.
3. Take an antihistamine medication like levocetrizine twice daily for 7-10 days.
4. Other treatment options are oral steroid like prednisone or betamethasone taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

Thanks.
