Tecfidera Rash and Red and Red in the face

[Ash3]

Any suggestions for the rash I have and very red in the face, only on the face so far. Woke up with it and been on Tecfidera since May 15. Thanks. Ash3

Hi! I have had success with taking two Benadryl tablets as soon as I feel the flushing coming on. My face can look like a tomato! By now, I can recognize when it is starting---my ears start to tingle and feel strange--and I pop the tablets. It prevents that red face and rash on my arms and chest. If it occurs on two consecutive doses, I take the Benadryl about 30 min before taking the Tecfidera as a precaution, and it works. Not sure if this will help you, but I hope that it does.

Thank you for the insight. I will try it. Ash3
