Allergic Reaction To Solodyn
(Newest posts first)

My son suffered an allergic reaction to solodyn. He was prescribed for acne. He was on the medication for 1 month with no reaction. Was then put on a different antibotic for one month and then switched back to Solodyn. After three days on the Solodyn, he broke out in a rash. Large bumps most in big clusters with rash. Severe itching.

I thought I was having an allergic reaction to my makeup prom night by wearing a lot because my eyes were completely swollen and itchy and red. It was only the second night taking Solodyn. Last night i took the medicine as usual(didnt know It was the culprit!) and woke up throughout the Night miserable feeling like i was being clawed at i was so itchy. It's been almost a week and the swelling is still visible because I just realized it was the medicine. Wow!

It's more than a rash....my daughter had severe hives. Itching lasts almost a week. Now she's on pretisone, zyrtec and benadryl just to try to get the hives under control. I am suspicious that the derm is denying this is an allergy to the solodyn. Sounds like your derm also did not want to blame the solodyn. I wonder if docs get huge kick back from solodyn makers because my derm didn't even wanna hear me out. He gave me 100 excuses but never pointing finger at the obvious solodyn. Does anyone else's get this suspicious feeling about doctors need to defend this med?

So glad I read this post. I too have been itching like crazy! It is awful. I thought maybe it was my excema, but perhaps its this medication. When I started it regularly that's when I started itching tremendously..and the itch is almost incurable it seems. Will definitely be going back to dermatologist

I think i am also allergic to this medication. I broke out in hives throughout my body, drank a lot of water and took some benadryl. It did go away, but I am not going to take this med anymore-I also applied calamine lotion to soothe the itchiness, it seemed to help a little.

I took Solodyn and broke out in a rash on my face neck and chest. I stopped taking it and the rash cleared up.
