Burning Skin And Crestor

I have been taking Crestor 10 mg for 5 months but on various Statins for 2O years. A few days ago my skin started to feel like I had a sunburn in my face, behind my neck, buttocks and legs, plus a bit of a sore throat.

It is not anxiety because I popped a prescribed Klonopin and I felt calm but still burning skin I am convinced this is the Crestor. My doc thinks I am crazy

Has anyone heard of this. I stopped taking it
2 days ago and so far no change, but I realize it is too soon to tell

Oh yes, the FDA does list that as being a possible side effect, along with itching, tingling, feeling like your skin is crawling, and prickling sensations.

One of the medications I take for my blood pressure can cause odd tingling sensations on the scalp, usually only when I'm out in the sun and it is one of the strangest experiences.

Are you on any other medications?
