History: Caller reports that she applied product to her cat, and that her daughter pet the cat after this application, and developed a itching, red rash, with fluid-filled bumps afterwards. Caller states that her daughter has been evaluated by a physician, and has tried oral Benadryl, topical hydrocortisone/calamine lotion, and cold compresses without incomplete relief. Caller reports that the rash has been present for 3 weeks, and is now spreading and getting worse. Rash is present on stomach, upper legs, arms, and neck. Assessment: This is not an expected effect of routine product use. Patient may or may not have an unrecognized sensitivity to one of the active or associated ingredients in a given product. There are several possible causes of a rash including sensitivity to a household or commercial product, food product, naturally occurring environmental agent, or medication. Rashes may also form as a result of illness or exposure to heat. Recommend consulting a physician to help determine the cause of the rash. Suggest consultation with dermatologist, given severity and duration of symptoms, and lack of relief with current medications. 08/31/07 Follow-Up Caller said that patient is doing much better.
