I developed Lamictal rash about 6 weeks after starting to take it (which is, as I understand it about when it typically occurs.) I went to see my GP because I was unaware of the possibility of Lamictal rash & I thought it was probably just some odd occurance. He correctly identified it though & sent me upstairs immediately to see a dermatologist. She was on her way out when my GP called her. But she stayed to see me. They called my psychiatrist & took me off of the Lamictal immediately.

Now I'm no expert with regard to this. And hopefully what you have going on is no big deal. But my understanding is that Lamictal rash can develop into a life-threatening condition called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. It's nothing to mess around with! Please see your GP, or perhaps preferably a dermatologist, right away.
