Question
Skin rash after PEP
26 December 2024. Related: Complications and coinfections, PEP/PEPSE, Side effects.
I have a rash on my face. It started a day after I finished PEP. Should I be concerned?
Answer
Hello and thanks for getting touch.
If a rash started after a whole month of taking PEP and especially after you stopped it, it is probably unrelated to PEP.
However, a rash should always be reviewed by a healthcare professional, especially if you are worried about it.
