Aspirin Allergies
I was considered an APAS patient due to the recurrent miscarriages that I had. Because of this, I was given aspirin to be taken daily. However, after a few days of taking aspirin, I noticed to see rashes coming out of anywhere from my body. It started coming out on my inner thigh, then on the folds, then spreaded everywhere. I am not allergic to anything, not that I know of. So this is new to me. I consulted a derma and said that it is possibly an allergic reaction to the aspirin I had just taken. Has anyone experienced the same thing? Would appreciate your insights on how you dealt with it. Thanks in advance. ?
Thanks for your insights, MikiMouseMum and icapatootie. I actually stopped taking the aspirin as advised by my derma and ob. However, after 5 days from stoping the aspirin intake, a lot of rashes are coming out of my body, especially on the legs and arms part. But the rashes on my pelvic and stomach area seems to somewhat subside a little. I am not taking any antihisthamine because even my doctors avoided that. Instead, they gave me Chlorphenamine Antamin for oral intake and Lidex as topical cream. Not sure if these rashes coming out are just because of the flushing out of the aspirin as I was able to take the aspirin for a week or so. Hopefully this will soon disappear.
I was diagnosed with Aspirin:ibuptofen allergies 20 years ago but i need to take baby aspirin to help my placenta and baby to grow much healthier. I was admitted to the hospital last week so we tried if i could take it with anti histamines. It looks like it’s working but I’m thinking that maybe I’m not allergic to it anymore after 20 years of avoiding it? Lol. I don’t know, but I’m taking it now and antihistamine before i take the pill everyday.
Maybe stop taking it and then re-introduce and see if the rash comes back?
I was told to take asprin after recurrent miscarriages, I still miscarried :( Switched to good quality fish oil which also thins blood and going good this pregnancy. If you are allergic that could be an alternative!
I was supposed to be on aspirin daily also but can't this pregnancy as I seem to be allergic or can't tolerate aspirin. I start vomiting after taking it and rash on arms. They said I'll try aspirin after pregnancy and see if I react or not. If I don't then it's due to pregnancy.
So my doctor and I have agreed to just not take aspirin in the mean time
