Skin doctor symptoms and conditions

I started taking aciphex on October 29, as a beginning treatment for H-pylori infection. I took it for a week. I was dressing up I noticed red patches on both my legs and arms. It looked like my blood vesels under my skin had broken, the patches were flat but I didn't have any itching. I stopped the medication immediately. I called my doctor and he told me to stop taking the medication. Two or Three days after stopping the medication I got urinary track infection. A week passed and the patches didn't go away neither the UTI, so I went to the doctor and he said the that my problems weren't caused by aciphex. He sent me to the skin doctor, he said that it was possible that the patches were caused by aciphex but not the UTI. He sent me for blood test. I am waiting for the results. In the meantime my GI doctor sent me a triple therapy for the H-pylory which includes prilosec. I started reserching this medication and it can cause the same problem I had with aciphex under the skin called PURPURA, and there is a similar problem called PETECHIAE. Now after taking aciphex I fear if there is another part in my body that is bleeding that can't be seen. I need to take the therapy to get rid of the bacteria but I'm very concerned of the side effects, because I feel that nowdays this doctor are not well informed about the side effects of these medications.

My skin doctor recommended the Neutrogena sunscreen with helioplex. I was excited to learn about it's benefits, until I used it a couple of times. My skin got bumpy and an itchy rash appeared. My skin is flaking off. Obviously this product has some side effects and I am disappointed in the product. Would the sunscreen that contains Mexoryl be any better?

Hi,

I was on 10 mg of Lipitor and seemed ok which I was on for about 2 months. Then my doctor increased the dosage to 20 mg., shortly after that I had such a severe red and itchy rash on both of my eyelids. So itchy and painful, at times I felt like pulling my eyes out. I went to a skin doctor, an allergist, and eye doctor. I changed my make up, changed laundry detergent. None of this helped. Then I started thinking back on when this rash started and it was about the time my doctor increased the dosage of the lipitor. I finally just took myself off of it. I was in pain like this for 2 months, I thought I would go out of my mind with the itching. It took about 3 weeks after I stopped taking the Lipitor before the systems started to disappear. Just wanted to share this info with everyone. I hope this helps anyone that may be having similar problems.
