From red to purple
My best friend had to have a tooth pulled and be on pain meds afterwards. Well, she started off with a small red rash that went to a big red rash all over. She started taking benadryl and within a couple hours she had to go to the ER because she was turning purple!
She was swelling up and they thought they might have to cut her rings off, but they put ice packs on her hands and the swelling started to go down. She is on benadryl, pepcid and steroids for one week. She sent me a picture and she really is purple!! She could star in a sci-fi movie as a purple blob.

Was she on antibiotics too ? you can have an allergic reaction to pain meds or antibiotics, antibiotics for sure. She should write down what kind she took in order to avoid next time. This was a really bad allergic reaction thank goodness she went to the ER.

The reaction was from the pain meds.

Well, my girlfriend is almost back to normal. Just a slight little light red left in a couple spots. I was really hoping to cash in on it and be her manager....get her some spots in a horror or monster movie
