has anyone develope a terrible rash while on immunosuppressers?  i'm on remi and developed this blistery, red rash over 90% of my body.  i went to an infectious disease specialist and he and my gastro determined there was no infection, and it was from developing the antibodies to the remi.  this happen to anybody else?

what can i put on it now that it is drying up to make it heal quicker?  it is peeling the top layer of my skin off on my hands and sides of my feet.  it feels raw!

A few months ago I got a horrible bout of bronchitis and for some odd reason I ended up with a rash all over my body that lasted a couple days. The rash didn't hurt or blister but it burned. I went to the doc and as luck would have it, the rash went away the day of my appt (before I went). I have no idea why I rashed out. But I do notice that my skin is more sensitive then before I started on 6mp.

You can try A D ointment to see if it helps with the healing. It works great for diaper rash so why not for other rashes right? As for any other rash cream you can go to your local pharmacy and see what they have.

Yuck!

How are you feeling now? Has the rash gone away?

it has gotten better, but now my skin is peeling with not very many of the blisters left. my fear is that it will come back in another week like it did this last time....

my infectious disease guy called, looks like it is fungal instead of immunosuppresed mediated. bummer because it is coming back again and now i may not ever get to have remi again!
