Pink prickly skin

[GAL14]

I was just curious if anyone has had pink prickly skin and what did you do about it.

Hi Gal,

Call your doctor. You may be having an allergic reaction to something. People with END stage CKD can have pruritis and so if that is going on you should have that checked immediately too. What is your phosphorous levels? A very high concentration of phosphorous can cause itching and also should be checked as there are ways to lower it.

Thank u so much for your thorough and thoughtful response it went away as fast as it came

Make sure you still tell the doctor about the rash even though it went away. It still could be a reaction to medication or too high levels of phosphorus. Next time the reaction could be worse and you sure don't want that.

Take care.
