pitriasis rosea - Skin itchy rush because xalatan or cosopt

[SuxS]

Hi 🙂 I’m 39 years old and I have close angle glaucoma for five years! I ‘m on cosopt for 5 and xalatan for nearly one year. Last month i find patch on my leg , and fifteen day after that on my stomach. I went to dermatologist and he gave me losion and cream, but few days ago a got itchy and rush on my torso and neck, for me it seems that going worse. One of sideeffect of xalatan and cosopt is itchy skin and rush, does anyone experience something similar! Thank you all!

Hi SuxS. I'm not saying it definitely isn't the drops causing your rash but you have been on them for some time, with no problems. I would advise you to contact your dermatologist to ask if the places the rashes are appearing are consistent with their diagnosis or do they feel it could be due to a side effect.

Helen tnx to your advice. I contact my dermatologist and he said that skin alergy from drugs is usually like eruption. So I hope that is not my case. Allergy on eye drops was always my biggest fear. Thanks again!
