Tykerb rash
I've been on Tykerb for nearly 3 weeks now, and have had no problem with diarrhea at all. I do have a rash though. Just wanted to check it out with you. I got it on my forearms and calves just over a week ago when I was working outside on an overcast day. I figured it was sun sensitivity and have stayed out of the sun since. Now I am broken out on my stomach and behind, places that have not seen the light of day. This is a good thing, right? My face is still clear, though. Thanks for your input. God bless you all!
