Question

Skin rash after PEP

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.
