In reply to medication side effects - skin, posted by sweetmarie on March 31, 2001, at 7:39:58
I used to get that after exercising. I got it on my legs and torso. But I was never able to prove that it came from medication, because after I stopped medication it was still there.
Maybe someone else will have some more information as to what drugs can actually _cause_ it or make it worse.
> I have a condition called `folliculitis` on my arms. This is only a recent occurance - it appeared about 8/9 months ago.

> I wondered whether anyone else has the same condition (it`s an infection of the skin follicules, taking the form of tiny `spots` of the type you can get on your face only smaller). Does anyone else have this condition (not necessarily on their arms), and is it a side effect of medication(s)?
