I have these red stretch mark lookin lines that appeared overnight on the inner parts of both my thighs, it may be a rash because it itches. My concern is that I take Pristiq and Lamictal for Bi-polar disorder. The Lamictal I was told can cause a rash that is dangerous, its covers a fairly large part of my inner thighs. I think it might be spreading as well, could this be a rash even though it doesnt quite look like one yet?

 Hello,Anticonvusants are known to cause severe allergies in some.But then, these are generally bullous,ie water filled blisters affecting skin,mouth and other mucous membranes like vaginal or penile and the patiet is very sick.The skin becomes painful to touch.These are the severe types known as TEN ie toxic epidermal necrolysis Steven johnson syndrome and exfoliative erythroderma which involves most parts of the body.Your rash may not relate to the serious rash of the drug or may be different condition like a fungus infection,yet it is a must to report to your healthcare personnel.If it is drug induced, alternate drug may be used.
Best wishes.
