Can Nicotine Cause A Skin Rash?

Yes, nicotine could cause a skin rash. However, if you are uncertain about the nature of your rash, then you should visit your doctor, who will be able to determine the origin of the rash and hopefully treat it.

In addition to skin rashes, nicotine can also cause a whole host of other medical problems:

• Damage to the liver.
• Damage to the kidney.
• It can contribute towards heart disease, angina and heart failure.
• Very high blood pressure.
• Problems with heart rhythm and rate.
• Heart attacks.
• Stroke.
• Diabetes.
• Stomach ulcers.
• Bronchitis.
• Emphysema.
• Asthma.

Plus numerous other slightly less-damaging side-effects.

Can nicotine cause a skin rash...

• Nicotine stays in the body much longer than most people think - even if you have stopped smoking.
• The substance can be detected in urine for approximately four days after it was last taken.
• This figure is true of both blood and saliva tests, too.
• Hair follicle testing can find the presence of nicotine within the hair follicles over a much longer time period. This method can still find traces of nicotine three months after your last cigarette.

As I mentioned earlier, It would be beneficial for you to visit a health care professional if you are unsure about the nature and seriousness of the rash.
