Itchy skin, including a red itchy scalp, can be a side effect of multiple myeloma treatments, including Pomalyst (pomalidomide). Here are some steps you can take:

- Consult Your Healthcare Team: It's important to talk to your oncology team or dermatologist to determine the best way to manage and find relief from itching.
- Topical Steroid Creams: These can help delay or prevent skin changes that lead to itching. Use them short-term and in small areas to avoid side effects.
- Moisturizing: Keep your skin moisturized to prevent or reduce itching. Use fragrance-free moisturizers and apply them at least twice daily.
- Antihistamines: Over-the-counter antihistamines like Claritin or Benadryl may help manage itching.
