What type of specialist doctor should my mother see for skin reactions like redness, hives, and rashes caused by almost any medication?including Disprin?and how can we best explain her symptoms to get an accurate diagnosis?
I highly recommend scheduling an appointment with an allergist/immunologist, as they specialize in drug hypersensitivities. A dermatologist can also help manage the skin symptoms. Since she reacted to Disprin (aspirin), she may have a sensitivity to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). To help the doctor get an accurate diagnosis, please bring a detailed log of all medications she has taken, photos of her rashes, and a timeline of how quickly the redness or hives appeared after taking each drug.
