My husband's mepron rash looked more like a mild sunburn and went away after 2 days. All of the meds you're on can cause an allergic rash.

I had an allergic reaction to a medication once, very similar to what you are describing. It got to be rather painful. So I really think you need to get this checked out immediately -- call the doc, and your pharmacist. It may be nothing serious, but I really wouldn't mess around with it.

Hey Debbie,
Sorry to hear about your reaction to the meds. I recently discovered I had Lyme...
And I saw Warwick, by any chance are you from Rhode Island?

Thanks,
Maris
