Has anyone experienced a terrible itchy rash while taking Wellbutrin SR?


I started taking Wellbutrin SR 3 days ago and started breaking out yesterday. At first I thought it was poison ivy, but I couldn't figure out how that happened. I am becoming more convinced that it is the medication especially since I continue to have new eruptions. What are your thoughts and how can I get some relief?
----------

I took Wellbutrin before I realized that by eating low-carb would increase my mood dramatically (no joke, even I was surprised) & never experienced any rashes. In fact, I didn't get any effect whatsoever from the pill. I would contact your doctor because that should NOT be a side effect of the drug.

I typically don't recommend antidepressants; however, I hope they work out for you =]  (+ info)

Can facials and other methods used by beuticians darken the face of a person?


The face of a person has slightly darkened after visiting a beauty parlour. Tiny rash like eruptions have also been caused on account of that. How could it be possible and what could be the remedy for the same?
----------

The rash is the allergic reaction to something that the beautician had on her hands or the products that were used on the person by the beautician. The rash should have died down without affecting the person's skin anymore, but since you have mentioned that the face has slightly darkened, it is better to consult a dermatologist immediately. Till the doctor's visit, try going back to that beauty parlour and figuring out what could have gone wrong. Most beauty parlours usually have the antidote routines for misadventures like these. If nothing comes out from the beauty parlour visit, it is better not to try anything at home - just go to the skin specialist.  (+ info)

How can I speed up tooth eruption?


I had 4 teeth pulled (my left canine, a back right molar, and the third from left and right from middle of bottom set) and the molar grew in leaving 3 gaps. But anyways I had them pulled so they could put my braces on, so the longer they take to come in the longer I wear braces. I am 15, too old to wear braces and too old to have teeth coming in. So how can I speed up this process (or at least not slow it down) if possible?
----------

chewing hard foods (raw carrots, apple) is said to encourage the tooth to erupt by softening the gums. that's about all you can do.   (+ info)

Is there a way I can purchase dental insurance to fix super eruption?


I'm sure it's not possible but I'm asking anyway. I need a crap ton of oral surgery I think due to teeth in the back on top slightly super erupting because of missing teeth on the bottom. Sucks so bad. My fault, I know. Anyway, is there a way I could purchase insurance on my own to help cover this? Any suggestions are super welcome. Thanks.

You eat one Mento. You take one sip of Diet Coke. What happens? Does it erupt in your mouth?

What is polymorphic light eruption?

Polymorphic light eruption (PLE), otherwise termed polymorphous light eruption (PMLE), is a skin complaint caused by sunlight.

Typically, those affected by it will have been exposed to the sun for two to three days while on holiday, although the complaint does occur between the spring and autumn months in the UK, and sometimes as little as 15 minutes' exposure to sunshine can induce the condition. It can even be brought on by sunlight penetrating through a window or thin clothing.

A delayed-onset, spotty, itchy eruption appears on the skin, and may take between 5 to 10 days to clear.

The rash usually consists of small red spots or blisters and can appear on any part of the body that has been exposed to sunshine, although commonly the face and the backs of the hands will be spared. It tends to heal without scarring.

Who suffers from PLE?

About 10 to 20 per cent of the northern European population is affected by PLE, which is more common in females than in males.

The condition can affect all ethnic groups, and research suggests that 20 per cent of patients have a family history of the complaint. Those suffering from PLE usually do so by the age of 30.

Is it the same as prickly heat?

No, prickly heat, which occurs during warm weather, generally affects the trunk (ie, not the head, neck or limbs) and is related to overheating, particularly in areas where there is friction due to clothing.

What is the cause of PLE?

This is not completely understood. It's thought by some experts that PLE may be an allergic reaction following the interaction of sunlight with proteins in the skin.

Is it serious?

No, but it has a nuisance value and may restrict lifestyle in the summer months, particularly during holidays. If severe, it may cause significant problems that require more active therapy than simply keeping the affected area out of the sun. Most patients learn to know their skin and can judge how much sunlight exposure they can tolerate.

How can I tell if I have the condition?

PLE can normally be diagnosed from a patient's story. Investigations are frequently performed to rule out other causes of abnormal skin sensitivity to light (photosensitivity). These include blood tests and phototesting.

Phototesting is a procedure conducted with light test equipment in which small areas of the skin are given different doses of ultraviolet and visible light in order to try and reproduce the problem.

How can PLE be prevented?

Many patients find that they can prevent the condition by wearing protective clothing, avoiding the sun between 11am and 3pm, and frequently applying broad-spectrum, high-protective-factor sun barrier preparations - a line of action that, although effective, restricts one's lifestyle during the summer months.

Another way to prevent PLE is to undergo a course of desensitisation treatment. The patient goes into a phototherapy cubicle where those parts of the body that are normally kept covered become exposed to ultraviolet light. The ultraviolet exposure is gradually increased, thereby increasing the skin's natural sunlight protection. Desensitisation is normally conducted early in springtime and the effect is usually completely lost during the subsequent winter, so it needs to be repeated annually.

Can I treat the eruption when it occurs?

Anti-itch preparations, such as calamine lotion, may produce some temporary improvement. Moderate or potent topical steroid creams may help suppress the condition when it arises. Occasionally, a doctor may prescribe a course of steroid tablets, although this is usually avoided because of possible side effects.

Can it go away of its own accord?

Yes, many patients find that the complaint clears up spontaneously.

Is it infectious?

There is no risk of other people catching the condition from you, or vice versa.

If I get an eruption, does that increase my chances of getting skin cancer?

No - getting an eruption does not increase your chances of getting skin cancer.

If I suffer from PLE, should I avoid going to hot countries?

This depends upon the severity of the state of your skin. Many sufferers can manage well with simple precautions such as controlled sunlight exposure, wearing photoprotective clothing and using a high-factor, broad-spectrum sun barrier. Others may require desensitisation treatment.

If I have a desensitisation course are there points worth bearing in mind?


When you have completed a desensitisation course, the outer layer of your skin will have thickened and gone darker. These changes increase your natural sunlight protection, but a tan is not essential for that protection.


It is important during the summertime to keep your artificial protection topped up. So, far from carefully avoiding sunlight, it is sensible for you to spend increasing amounts of time in spring/summer sunlight, carefully avoiding the amount of sunlight that would induce your rash, but having enough to maintain your enhanced protection against sunlight.


When going outside for long periods, remember to limit your sunlight exposure by using clothing and high-protection, broad-spectrum sun barrier creams.


It's worth keeping a record of the degree of your problem so that when your doctor next sees you, you can report any change in your condition.  (+ info)

Has anyone discovered the secret to daily comfort like I have? Take a bath followed by rinsing in the shower?


Everybody takes a shower and thinks that's enough. But if you take a bath and then rinse off in the shower you'll feel much better. A shower alone doesn't give your body the deep clean that it needs.
Of course this tip won't lead to an assault on the senses like eating or an orgasm will, but you will feel much cleaner and fresher all day and it's especially good for hemorrhoids and other anal eruptions. Has this been duly noted?
----------

This is pretty much what I have grown accustom to cleaning my self. The bathtub is relaxing, soothing, it gets all the spots a shower could possibly miss.

But, bathing this way, then showering, uses up a lot of water..water that we could use for other things.

Go a head and do the Pros and Cons your self.  (+ info)

Can you still catch Herpes Type 2 if the virus is not in the sexual organs?


My friend has Herpes Type 2, but the eruptions occur on his hip (he gets outbreaks on his hip). He is not being treated for it, so I want to know if I have sexual intercourse with him, am I still able to catch it.
----------

It doesn't matter where a herpes outbreak occurs.

You can still get herpes from DIRECT skin to skin contact with the infected area. So, any contact with his hip area can cause you to contract the virus.  (+ info)
