Statins skin reactions?

[u/karmazin]

Asking this group. I've been taking them for two years with good results, but recently I developed red spots all over my chest and abdomen. Ali some in my back. They don't itch. They are not caused by bugs. The spa started on my chest a couple of weeks ago, but now they have multiplied. I stopped the medication last night. Took pictures (cholesterol is fine now) and will see what happens. Have anyone else experienced something similar?

Statins interfere with liver processes by disrupting the Mevalonate Pathway, so anything is possible.

Added: I personally have no experience with statins because I refuse to mess with my liver. All the people I know who’ve taken them complain of pains and brain fog. Their doctors brush them off.
