Sounds like you will have it Checked out. I got a rash on only 25mg of Lamictal and was told to stop immediately. Even if it might look like eczema I think it's better to be safe and get it looked at. I agree 100% with Sweet Surrender. It can be serious stuff.

You also said: "Another recent occurance, totally unrealated to JS, that I have noticed since starting the higher doze is that my typing is messed up. I am usually a fast typer with very few mistakes... unless they are spelling, which has always been a problem for me. But even there I will sit and ponder how to spell even the most basic words. Now I can barely type three letters without having to go back and fix the mistyped letter and even then it may take 3 or 4 tries to get it right. I am constantly back spacing to just get one word right or I may need to stop to think what letter is next. I will write a word that sounds the same but is spelled differently depending on the usage. EG... I had to correct the use of write when I meant right. I have been doing that throughout all of this post. I don't know if it is related but this has never happened before. Is it related to the lamictal?"

I have this problem, and it started before I was on meds, during mana. I used to drink 5 years ago & got really paranoid that my family thought I may have relapsed for all the text blunders I made. My mind is clearer now on meds, but still have it happen. The typing of a related word and everything. I'm glad there is an edit feature on PC. I used to pride myself on my vocabulary and most of the time feel discouraged & even brain damaged. Sigh.

At least I know I'm not The only one. Grey - didn't know you had that too and your side effect to Abilify, I am so sorry.
