For Gout "Get rash on one leg only, but it itches so bad I've bled with scratching. I now wear an exfoliating glove before scratching because it drives me crazy. Can't cover with a dressing because the heat becomes so intense. It's a red pinhead rash, is it a side effect of allopurinol? Drives me nuts."

For Gout "I'd put ZERO, but probably won't show! Two weeks after taking it, I started to itch. PA should have taken me off. Four weeks after starting, my kidneys started to fail. Five weeks after, my face, hands, and feet started to swell and flake. My doctors investigated, and I had a syndrome called DRESS, Drug Rash with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms. Allopurinol is one of a handful of meds that causes DRESS. I've also read that it has an 8% mortality rate, which is MUCH too high!"
