Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 ReeAnn, Sounds like shingles, which is a virus in the same family as chicken pox, cold sores, herpes, etc. If it is, you've had it in your body for a long time and it just popped out now, It rears it's ugly head when distress takes over a body's system -- could that have happened to you? I'd have it checked out -- if it's shingles, the doctor will give you acyclovir pills and cream and it will go away. BUT, there's no cure, so it will come back -- IF THAT " S WHAT IT IS. Now that I've frightened you even more, maybe it's just a rash. I'd take a warm bath with oatmeal and see if it starts to go away, if so, it's probably a rash. Kathie -- really, really, gently hugz for you now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Reanne, My father was on very strong antibiotics in the hopsital and he began to have a small rash which grew all over his body. It was very weird looking, not the normal rash. They had to stop the drugs asap. It seems that is a side effect to strong antibiotics. Once he stopped within days his rash started to disappear. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
