I would suggest that you call 111, if this is a reaction to meds it is better to be safe than sorry.

Yes!! After 2 weeks on Tricagrelor broke out on a horrible, painful rash on face, neck, scalp and trunk. Rash seemed to be a mixture of blisters and red dermatitis like patches. Creams etc from GP no effect so after 4 months paid to see a dermatologist who advised to stop Tricagrelor and try Clopidogrel for 3 months instead. After nearly 3 months rash although not completely cleared is much much better.
