I have been taking Niaspan er 1000mg for a few years.  Last summer I came down with a terrible rash (redness on my face and neck) Went to dermatologist who gave me meds and it subsided (cleared.)  Also went to allergist for tests and info at the same time. Now, this condition has returned with a vengeance.  My face is red/swollen somewhat and burning.  The skin flakes on my face and this rash has moved to include my right arm and hand. Before I go for my next doctor(s) visits
Hi, After reading your query the closest possibility of your problem appears to be \"allergic dermatitis\". This is a condition caused by bursting of allergy producing cells known as \"mast cells\" due to contact of certain allergens. As the chemical inside them is released causes the kind of rash which you mentioned. There are many factors inducing the increased number and activity of these cells. Kindly follow the suggestions below
