It sounds like you're experiencing some side effects from Pomalyst. Itching and welts can be uncomfortable. Here are some points to consider:

- Itching and Skin Reactions: Itching and skin reactions, such as welts, can occur with treatments like Pomalyst. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare team.
- Topical Steroid Creams: Topical creams, such as mometasone (Elocon), may help manage itching. These should be used short-term and on small areas to avoid side effects.
- Treatment Adjustments: If your myeloma medications are causing itching, your healthcare team might adjust your treatment or dosage.
- At-Home Management: Over-the-counter anti-itch creams, avoiding heat, and taking antihistamines like Benadryl might help manage symptoms.

Always coordinate with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your treatment plan.
