Revlimid rash is very common and treatable. You should let her doctor know right away. They give steriods and antihistamines 🥰💕

Thanks for sharing. My mom ended up in a rehabilitation facility after her rash. It was really bad. She could hardly stand with the swelling in her feet. She hasn't had any treatment since Dec. 1.

My husband had a reaction . He was on dex,ninlaro and revlimid. Oncologist took him off dex and ninlaro and lowered revlimid for a couple of months. His rash did improve greatly and he upped his revlimid again with no problems.
