I have been taking for about 3 weeks 400iu vitamin e and 1000 mg vitamin c. I have han an allergic reaction on my back chest an arms of little red bumps an blotchy spots. How can I treat this at home, have no insurance?

[Wondergirl]

How do you know it's an allergic reaction to the vitamins (or something else)? It might be shingles. Please go to the ER or a walk-in clinic.

[kendrick1]

Because I have taken vitamin c for a while and haven't had this issue until mistakingly taking a high level of vitamin e, plus I researched it and the descriptions of reaction are very similar to what I am experiencing. Are you a doctor.

Please don't diagnose yourself. No, I am not a doctor. That is why I suggested the ER or a walk-in clinic. If nothing else, stop taking the vitamins.

It is rare to have any allergic reaction, but if it is, just stop taking the vitamin and the problem will solve itself.

I took high level of vitaimi e at 400iu and vitamin c of 1000 . Problem didn't occur until I started taking the vitamin e and I was taking it twice a day along with 1000mg f vitamin c. Have red bumps on back, chest

[Wondergirl]

Yes, we know, So stop taking the E.

[kendrick1]

[Wondergirl]

Fr_Chuck said the same thing I did. What answer are you looking for?

[kendrick1]

U are right I apologize, just frustrated never had wn reaction before.

U are right i apologize, just frustrated never had wn reaction before.

Normally, E doesn't cause problems, so I'm wondering if there is something else going on, thus go to the ER or more reasonably, a walk-in clinic.

[Fr_Chuck]

It is more likely to have a rash from high vit C, but 1000 a day is not that high.
But why are you taking the vit for, Is there issues they are trying to help.

You know most of the vit C is just flushing out in the urine,
But that would be my fear, that perhaps kidney issue where the C is not going out properly

[kendrick1]

I just started taking vitamin c it was for no reason had just heard it was good to take. According to Google the dosage vitamin e I took was high and taking twice wasn't good idea. Would benadryl help hives

[Wondergirl]

Do you have hives?

[kendrick1]

I called n of those 24/7 nurse lines and she said by symptomsthe allergic reaction is most likely hives and that benwfryl is a good hestamine blocker

[Wondergirl]

Do those bumps itch?

[kendrick1]

Ya on my back

[Wondergirl]

Have you stopped taking the E?

[kendrick1]

As of today yes
