I'm new here, I've been completely off Cymbalta for 2 weeks and have had numerous side effects but the one that's started in the past couple of days is a raised red rash on my face which feels tender and hurts to touch. Does anyone have any advice for bringing this down? Apart from the pain its making me very self conscious to go out (it hurts too much to put make up on) and I need to get essentials from shops.

 

Many thanks

Katherine

Welcome Katherine

 

Something like Hydrocortisone or Calamine lotion may help. Luckily this will fade with time.

Thanks I'll give it a go. Hoping ALL my side effects will fade, awful leg pain now.

If anyone else is suffering from this I just wanted to give hope that this side effect only lasted a few days and that I eased it with AproDerm Emoillent cream, there may be other brands that have similar ingredients, its just the one the pharmacist suggested and it helped.
