YES...... either one of these medicines could be the problem, and the rash could be telling you that you are having an allergic reaction to one of them.

I started a new arthritis meds back about 6 years ago and it was working GREAT! - but then about the 2nd or 3rd week of being on it I broke out with a rash that looked like I was burnt from head to toe..... NOW, I have to put Daypro down as a medicine I am allergic to.

One way to test and see if it is due to an allergic reaction is to........... pull back on the skin and if the rash disappears while you are tugging on the skin, but returns after you release the skin - then it is an allergic reaction, and I would take some Benadryl and then call you doctor on Monday.

Good Luck......................
