Are Skin Rashes Common In Fibromyalgia?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Anyone have rashes that are similar to hives?
Starts with a red flat splotch, then begins to itch and welts up last?

I'm beginning to think it's the Lipitor statin medication that I've been on it for a long time. I'm keeping a journal. Seems like now when I take it within an hour I get that rash on one arm or both.
The day before when I took the lipitor, I had the rash. Yesterday I didn't take it and no rash. Today lipitor within an hour itching and redness started.🤔

Ask for a referral to a dermatologist. I kept get horrid rashes that turned out to be a type of skin infection

I started having the red splotches that welded up on my face while I was in college. They seemed to be related to the hair products I was using at the time. I quit using mousse and hair spray and haven't had them since. Maybe you are chemically sensitive. It pays to be careful with any product your skin is exposed to. Best wishes!

So although i dont really get the skin rashes or welts i definitely struggle with itchy skin all over! It drives me crazy at night cause i have a hard time not itching. I wish i knew how to make it stop though. All the best!

Yes, only occasionally. It
comes on suddenly, goes away quickly, too.

Stress may be a factor? 🤔

Have a Good night, sleep well, happy dreams.🙏
