Greetings. I experienced the same symptoms when my cancer markers went up. I would discuss issues and concerns with my doctor about putting me on a lower dose of Revlimid or some other treatment/medication that’s used to treat Multiple myeloma. The good news is there are several.

I was told to take Claritin. The rash on my head is the worst...I finally found a anti-itch spray with that helps...Walmart had several.

Sarna Lotion is an anti-itch lotion that might help.

Hi Lynn,
I experienced itching when I was on a medication that conflicted with Revlimid. I took Benadryl to relieve the itching, reduced the dose of Revlimid and separated the times I took Revlimid and the other medication. Talk with your healthcare team for possible issues related to your personal conditions. My oncology nurses were always knowledgeable and compassionate.

Hi Lynne. They can give you steriods by mouth and steroid lotions and an antihistamine.
