What Causes Rashes Under The Arms And Waistline While On Allopurinol?
I am taking allopuronol last 3 days for gout maintenance. The last 2 evenings I have had a rash breaking out under my arms and surrounding area and the sides of my waistband. I take my meds about 8 am. The itching and welts start around 8 or 9 pm. I take a ahower and apply some warm baking soda water left to dry on the affected areas. Also took a benadryl. Should I do anything else just in case thid med is the clprit?
