fb,
You wrote,[...rash has flared...looks blisterd..itches...I need it looked at...].
What could be unbeknownst to the Dr is that there could be the case of Stevens-Johnson syndrome.
To have this diagnosed is important because of the risk of disfigurement, blindness or death.
If you go anyhwere for a diagnosis, ask if the person there could identify SJS. A burns institute could.
Now there is the fact that people taking Lamictal can get SJS.
