I was prescribed Lisinopril by my physician about six months ago. Everything was OK until about two weeks ago when I developed a HORRIBLE skin red, flaky, itching skin rash. This first appeared as heavy dandruff and was confined to my scalp, but letter moved to my neck, chest arms, back and legs. I am so grateful to have found this web site and I will discontinue this medication IMMEDIATELY!!! I will inform my doctor of these side effects and I will refuse to take this or any similar medication in the future. I have tried all sorts of shampoos, skin creams, cortisone ointments and such...it just keeps getting worse. I am hoping that getting off of this medication will improve things. Please let me know if you have had a similar experience with this medication. By: T

I started taking Seroquel about two weeks ago and within a few days I had the exact rash that you described on the top of my foot. It was horribly ugly and red, with flaking and intense burning. I thought I had athelets foot but the medicine did not work. I never had such a rash before but now, because of your post I know that the Seroquel is the cause. Thank you T for making this post.

This is Dez again and want to say that Psoriasin Gel gave me immediate relief whereas nothing else did. You have to apply it four times a day. It does not make the rash go away but it does stop it from hurting and burning after using it about two days. Hope this helps. Dez
