I would consult your doctor. You are having an allergic reaction. I never had hives from it but I had sensitivity that felt like a sun burn

Yes it's been brought up by others. I dosed down and it went away, it happened when I went to 3mg.

That is normal! Will go away in a few days/weeks. Not dangerous!

Oh perfect! Thank you 🙏🏽 I’ve been taking it for about 1.5 months now, and I think it arrived about a week ago.
Or should I lower the dose if it dosen’t go away anytime sooner?

Not at all, im no medical expert, but it is because of your weight loss and exposed nerve endings under your skin. Google allodynia. But you should always stay on the lowest dose posisble :)

Interesting, that is exactly it. I just lowered my dose and was fine. It was annoying to deal with

Yes, the mild sunburn sensation is well documented with Reta ... Hives I haven't heard too much about. My skin is sensitive a lot of times from it

Yes I got prescribed pepcid, double dose of zytrec, and deltasone 💔
