    Oh wow Steve I have this but never thought it was the meds until I read this. I bought pine tar soap which helped a lot . I also try to moisturize a lot more which helps ..

      Hi Natalie,

      I had forgotten about Pine Tar soap. Where do you find it?

    hi Seve,

    had the same and found that an allegy relief an OTC hayfever and allergy relief med such as Loratidine solved the problem.  if you have never taken these check with the doc.

    best

    Hi Steve,

    Sorry I have not experienced this and have taken Sertraline for years. Perhaps asking your doctor is best because if you are allergic to it, then you could end up in a serious position.

    I hope you get to the bottom of this and am glad you posted so we can all learn.
