Scabs symptoms and conditions

I have been on lisinopril for almost 3 months started out with 20 mg a day and my doctor upped my dose to 40 mg a day after going back for a check bp was still high I guess. About a month ago was out in the sun for about 6 hours and ever since then my head has been flaking and itching and has some scabs on it I also have some red rash on the back of my neck. Has anyone else experience this? I can't get it to stop either I tried using Head and Shoulders for 2 weeks like the doctor told me but it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

I have had vividly disturbing dreams since taking this- they began 3 days after beginning. Another side effect is serious lack of energy, to the point where I can barely keep up with what I normally did everyday- garden, hike, tend to home and family. Usually by 3 pm I can barely get off of the couch, which sucks because I am a busy woman. Have compensated by trying to get as much done in the morning as I can, and to fix smaller, easier meals. But little by little I've seen the quality of my life go downhill fast- the future on this drug does not look good to me.
Yes my blood pressure lowered somewhat, the irregular heartbeats not so much, but at what cost? Forget this, I don't need it.
Therefore, I am weaning myself off of Metoprolol after only 2 months of use, choosing instead to go with a natural regimine of VitC, buckwheat combined with gingko for blood pressure, garlic and dong qai for blood thinning. Also to mention, I've lowered my caffeine consumption considerably- from 4 or more espressos a day to 1 cup of brewed coffee- and within a week of doing so my blood pressure levels and pulse have returned to almost normal. (This was after both had been very elevated)
So it looks to me like I never really needed the medication to begin with. However I read on the literature included with the 'script that it is not meet to suddenly stop taking it- to do so could actually cause a heart attack! So I am gradually weaning off of it. (and lipitor)
I think many doctors are too quick to prescribe a pill without having a person look at their lifestyle and food choices. The caffeine withdrawals were nothing in comparison with how bad these drugs make me feel. And the dreams are almost enough to drive one nuts.
It's easier to be healthy than we are led to believe by an industry that makes a profit off of sickness, real or perceived, no matter how preventable.

I used carmex cherry and it broke my lip out! My lip was burning n busting. I been having black scabs on my lip. My top lip have little bumps on it>

hi no one has described itchy skin mainly arms and back

I began taking Wellbutrin 2 weeks ago and started on a 150mg dosage. I was on 150mg for one week. The second week, I went up to 300mg per the psychiatrist's instructions. I was feeling really angry some of the time and decided to stop the medication. Prior to the last 2 weeks I was taking 40mg of Paxil, which I stopped after the first week of being on Wellbutrin.
The anger was uncomfortable, I stopped taking the Wellbutrin and within 36-48 hours of being off this drug, my feet began to itch mildly at first. Within about 30 minutes of this "mild" itching, the sensations got worse. My feet felt like they were on fire. The only relief was putting them in hot water in the tub. I was screaming with frustration and pain. I attributed this to the cold turkey stopping of wellbutrin. But since I had been on it only 2 weeks, I didn't think anything would happen. Big mistake. After 2 hours of having feet in tub, on the phone with a 24-hour nurse advice line and pharmacist, I went ahead and took 300 mg. The itching stopped within 2 hours. This was a freaking nightmare ! So I am weaning myself off. The doctor who prescribed this, who I spoke with the following day, said...well..stop taking it. Doesn't make sense because when I stopped that's when the extreme itching happened. It's crazy. I'm weaning myself off and taking Benadryl. I also got some hydrocortisone cream. There are scabs on the top of my foot from scratching. No more. I've been on anti-depressants for over 10 years now and I want to stop ALL OF THEM. Within 2 weeks, I should be "clean". Just know that this itching...was so intense I was crying and screaming because there was no relief.

My mother, 70 years, just visited me and is on Advair Diskus, I want to say at least 2 years now. She has COPD with chronic bronchitis. I don't even know this woman anymore. She is depressed and extremely short with everyone. She has a rash that started on the back of her legs that fills with fluid then scabs. She has informed me she has had the rash almost a year now. It has spread to her arms and neck lately. It comes and goes in it's severity. Her Dr. cannot give her a diagnosis. She too, has spoken the words "miracle drug" in the beginning. I just got off the phone with her and she said she would rather risk an asthma attack than stay on Advair. Risk death than stay on Advair? What is this drug doing to people?

I was given 20 mg of Prednisone for 10 days for a rash and joint pain.
The pain went away and I felt great the rash got a little better. Two days ago I took my last pill. I woke up that night and my knees gave out. By morning I was great! Next night I woke with knee problem again had to slide down the stairs to the living room. I got to wondering if the knee thing could be associated with the Prednisone. I got on line and read all this terrible stuff. I am so Horrified! Today I am in pain like my body is bruised and my face is swollen a little. I have acid reflux as well. Non of this is typical for me. My knee thing is ok again, but I am just appalled! I have no MED insurance. I hope this isn't the beginning of worse things I am not taking that drug now. The Dr. didn't say I needed to taper...

I hope I have not damaged myself by taking this drug! My heart goes out to all of you! My question is - Why are the Dr.'s prescribing this terrible drug?

I have been taking Advair for about 3 years. I have extremely itchy skin. I scratch so bad that I always have scabs and scars. The itching on my arms and shins. Not sure what is worse asthma symtoms or the crazy itching.

I have PRP ( Pityriasis Rubra Pilaris) and my head, face, shoulders, and back have been a mess with sores and scabs that would not heal. I have been using Triamcinolone cream for more than a year with no visible effects. I went to a Rhumatologist for arthritis and she gave me a shot of Kenalog to reduce the pain and swelling. It helped that and also cleared up about 50% of my scaly and scab covered face and head. I will ask for another shot upon my next visit.
I can go out in public now without wearing makeup.

I had been using Loprox for seborrhoeic dermatitis of the face for a month or more with varying effect because I was not consistent in following the routine of application twice a day. I was also consistently using Loprox shampoo with definite improvement to the scalp. One day the affected parts of my face suddenly got much worse. The skin reddened and swelled and began to burn and itch. It looked awful. There was no explanation for this sudden effect except that it coincided with a series of very sunny days in July when I was outdoors quite a bit. My condition did feel a lot like a bad sunburn. I concluded that the cream must have made my skin much more sensitive to sunlight, promoting burn. Note that parts of the face that normally burn first--the nose, for example--were not affected. Note also that I have had the condition for several years untreated and never had any particular reaction to sunlight.

While the sunburn was healing, I started applying Loprox to one side of my face and over the counter cortisone cream to the other. The cortisone side has now cleared up much faster, while the Loprox side has cracks in the skin and little scabs.
