Has Anyone Gotten A Red Itchy Scalp From Pomalyst? I’ve Been Taking Pomalyst For 3 Days And Am Insanely Itchy. If So, How Long Did It Last?

Good idea. The itching finally settled down after a week. Yay!
I get an itchy red scalp from taking Pom, usually after the 3rd day of starting a new cycle. What I now do is skip the 3rd or 4th day dose to let the rash settle down and that seems to help. I’m only missing 1 pill in the cycle which the doctor seems ok with.
I always remember a nursing instructor I had. She told us that severe itching can be as bad as as severe pain. I believe her now. 😥
