Anyone have same problem please share.  |
I had THE rash (I think it was THE rash.... it was an allergic reaction even though I had been taking Lamictal for 8 years... so weird!). It was like welts/hives all over my body, especially on my thighs. It was VERY itchy (maddeningly itchy). I think you are safe with pimple-like rash.
Have you recently taken antibiotics? I get rashes of acne after a round of antibiotics.
