Ive done cycles of Modafinils over years...
...And it seems I do start to get some rashes in random places
So just now, on my Modafinil cycle, I started getting those rashes
In the past they seem to have subsided when I took some time off.
This time Ill record, SPECIFICALLY how long it takes for the rashes to disappear
However, Its a bit surprising to me given the other strong skin aid supplements Im taking, yet Modafinil is still doing its skin damage (Modafinil, I take 200-400mg, 2-3x per week):
High Dose NAC 2-3g per day
High DHA Fish Oil 1.5-2.5g per day
Accutane 80mg per day
And Ive been very strict with a nutritional protocol that I know is OPTIMAL FOR ME, cant speak for anyone else (gluten-free, dairy free, low-carbs)
Those won't help, because Modafinil increases histamine-release - doesn't matter if you remove any obvious allergens - in susceptible people, your histamine-levels will reach such a high level that many things you'd never react to otherwise, will start causing reactions - like the additives in the Modafinil-pills.
Anyways, I recommend you try out LEVOcetirizine - not regular Cetirizine (zyrtec, etc) - LEVO. The Levo-enantiomer is the most selective of the two, and won't cross the blood-brain barrier, while the racemic mix will - for some, it cancels the effects of Modafinil to a great extent - for others, regular Cetirizine has no effect on Modafinil's effects. Depends on how much your cognitions responds to histamine, and not DA or NE, I guess.
Levocetirizine is the first-line medication when it comes to Urtikaria, which is basically what you're describing - it ought to have some effect.
Here's a proof of concept:

Thanks for the info brother!
Definitely going to give the LEVOcetirizine a try!
