Lisinopril rash on neck

Posted , 3 users are following.

I developed a rash on my neck, and a burning, itchy scalp several months ago. I had been in Lisinopril for over a year. After reading several posts here about people with a rash on their neck, I stopped talking it. After about two weeks it was SO much better! It's been about six weeks now, and I am not bothered with all-day, burning itching, but I STILL get a little rash on my neck, and my scalp still gets a little itchy NOTHING like it was. Ibuprofen helps a lot. Will this ever go away?

    just an idea im on Felodipine. I think thats the same type of drug. Absolutely no bother, and it keeps my bp well in check. Why not discuss a change with your gp?

    The rash itself might never go away but the uncomfortable effects you are experiencing will.
