Rash, red spots on the body, itching - #116

Kavya

Good afternoon. My daughter's gynecologist prescribed Elgin vaginal candles for 10 days. After 3 candles, small spots and redness appeared on the body. She did not connect them in any way with taking the drug and continued treatment. Today is the 7th day and all this has worsened, spots have appeared on the head and face. They itch and burn. Please tell me, is it an allergy, or maybe it's not related to candle treatment at all? There is also swelling and itching at the place of application of candles.

It sounds like your daughter may be experiencing an allergic reaction to the Elgin vaginal candles. The appearance of spots, redness, itching, burning, and swelling—especially in areas related to the medication's application—suggests a possible allergy or sensitivity to one of the ingredients in the candles. Here's what she can do: Stop using the candles immediately to prevent further irritation or worsening of symptoms. Consult the gynecologist or a healthcare professional as soon as possible to discuss these symptoms. They may advise switching to a different treatment or prescribe something to manage the allergic reaction, like antihistamines or topical medications. Monitor for severe symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or hives, which could indicate a more serious allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). If any of these occur, seek emergency medical care immediately. Use soothing products for the skin, such as hypoallergenic creams or aloe vera gel, to relieve itching and burning. It’s important to address this quickly to prevent further complications.

It sounds like your daughter is experiencing concerning symptoms that may be related to the use of the Elgin vaginal candles. The appearance of spots, redness, itching, burning, and swelling at the site of application, along with new symptoms on her head and face, could indicate an allergic reaction or irritation caused by the medication. While it's possible that these symptoms are unrelated, the timing suggests they could be connected. To provide better guidance, could you share more details about her overall health, any known allergies, and whether she has experienced similar reactions in the past? In Ayurveda, addressing such symptoms would involve identifying the underlying imbalances in her body. Aloe Vera gel can be applied topically to soothe the skin and alleviate itching and burning sensations. Neem (Azadirachta indica) is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties; using neem oil or neem leaf extract may help reduce redness and itching. Internal remedies such as Triphala can aid in detoxification and promote skin health. Incorporating Panchakarma treatments, such as Shirodhara or Abhyanga, could also be beneficial in relieving stress and promoting relaxation, which may assist in alleviating skin conditions. However, it's essential to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized treatment plan tailored to her specific symptoms and needs. Meanwhile, I recommend stopping the vaginal candles and consulting a healthcare provider to discuss these reactions and ensure she receives appropriate care.
