| Re: Rash after spinal cord stimulater
You say it looks like a sunburn? Do you have blisters? If so you very likely have shingles, which at some stages do sort of feel somewhat like a sunburn. If you do have blisters contact your primary care Dr or go to an urgent care center TODAY. You are still in the 72 hour timescale where antiviral meds may help prevent long term nerve damage and associated pain. Also if you never had chicken pox it can't be shingles and it probably something else like a soap. If you are sure it's not shingles you can try using a plain unscented soap like dial basic, or dove sensitive or a hypoallergenic baby wash, could be shampoo or conditioner too, baby shampoo is hypoallergenic. For laundry try "ALL" free and clear, avoid tide and cheer even their sensitive brands have a rep for causing hives. Keep in mind that it might take a couple of days for the effects to go away even after you eliminate the allergen. Try benadryl or zyrtec, or it it's really bad ask your dr for hydroxyzine. Knocks you out at first but really helps the itching.
Good luck,

Ps. Dryer sheets can cause this too so either leave them out or get the "free" ones.
