Can being taken off of methimazole cause rashes on your body?


Since my doctor has taken me off of methimazole for my thyroid I have broken out in a rash between my breasts. They are small itchy bumps that look like a pimple. I don't have acne on my face I never have. I have gone to the doctor but they said that it looks like a viral infection and to put a cream on it. I have been putting a hydrocortisone cream on it but it doesn't help. What could it be and how can I possibly stop it from spreading?

That area of reaction is a very unusal area to react from medication. I would question if it is not just a heat rash? Mosby's Drug reference 1999 makes no mention of a rash except for during overdose/hypersensitivity. One may have a reaction to medication, several weeks after they have stopped taking medication.

very sick 7 month old. need help?


I took my 7 month old to the dr. and she said he had baby acne and a viral infection. Well being a worried mother I switched dr.'s because I thought there was more to it. Come to find out his "baby acne" is staff infection and his viral infection in pneumonia. He is on albuteral for wheezing pulmicort for breathing and an antibiotic for the pneumonia and cream for the staff infection. The dr. never asked to see him back in a week or whatever. Hes been on all the meds for about 3 days none of it seems to be helping. The breathing treatments are supposed to give instant relief. and he seems to be the same. The rash is spreading. I am going to make another appointment monday when the office opens. Should I wait it out till then or is the an emergency and he needs to go to the er.

you are the mom, if you think he needs help - go now. Trust your instincts, they are usually correct.
If your son has trouble breathing (gasping for air, fingertips or lips turning bluish color, etc.) go the ER asap. You can always call your doctor too, most pediatricians have an answering system after hours that gives you instructions on how to reach a doctor.

Good luck, hope he feels better soon!
