Answer
Oddly enough, my psychiatrist, internist and psychologist did not know what the SJS rash would look like and recommended that I see a dermatologist. I saw the dermatologist and was told I had folliculitis, which is infected hair follicles. This did not sit comfortably with me since I had tiny, pus filled blisters sporadically from head to toe. I did not have a fever, or rash in my eyes, mouth, or palms of hands or on bottom of the feet as is the case with SJS. I then contacted, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) at 888-825-5249, the maker of Lamictal. I called GSK, described my rash, and they advised me to discontinue Lamictal after I advise my prescribing m.d., and they automatically had to file an Adverse Effect report with the FDA. Thankfully it's not SJS, but just a rash that GSK told me is a result of Lamictal but which can progress as a more serious rash. Go with your gut feeling like I did and call GSK today!
Answer
About a year ago I began to take Lamictal, about two weeks after, I discovered horribly itchy red bumps/rash all over my legs feet arms hands chest back and slightly on my face. It took a month for them to go away.
Answer
I started Lamictal about two months ago. I now have a rash on my face. It runs down each side of my nose and is starting to show-up on my neck. The rash on my neck started at about the size of a quarter and is spreading. It looked kinda’ like ringworm at first. All of the rash is slightly red, with the top layer of skin dry and flaking. I’ll point it out to the doctor next visit. You can bet I’m keeping a close eye on it… which isn’t hard to do since it’s right there on my face.
