Not headache medicine, but a few years ago I had this nasty rash on my feet for months before my two brain cells finally managed to meet in the middle of my skull to tell me to buy some medicated lotion. After enduring months of pain and itching and it was cleared up in about two days. I think it was poison ivy.

TIL

Typically, the rash from the urushiol oil lasts about five to twelve days, but in extreme cases it can last a month or more.

For the record, it also mighta been something else that just happened to be cleared up by Tecnu.
