Eltroxin report #SELF-3464
Male patient reported the following Eltroxin side effect(s):I first started getting rashes under my arms and in my thighs, I thought it was from the heat, the dr said it was a fungal infection, it has now spread to my entire chest area and buttocks. It is a raised infection and almost looks like hives. I am not sure what to do, it itches and burns all the time. Cortezone creams don\'t help.
I am not even sure if this is the problem or side effect of the medication but after searching the internet about skin problems I thought it may be the cause. The rash can be there one moment with raised outlines and suddenly turn into a completely redness and itchyness
