Started Maintenance Therapy July 1st, Then While Camping, I Woke With An Itchy Rash On My Back, It Has Since Spread To My Whole Body..
So itchy! Blister like, sores, hives and red bumps, and itchy! Taking Benadryl and have cream. What is it from?
Shannon,
Please get to a doctor soon!!!
The heat can make it worse stop med and get to a doctor!!!
Please take a photo and let your doctor know right away. It's very common but it can be serious in some people. It's usually treated with steriods, steriod cream and antihistamines. Sorry this happened 😢

NO MORE DELAY
My husband had rashes like that as well. There is medication to help. Probably a reaction to revlimid.
Shannon,
Please let us know how you are doing since the rash outbreak!!!!
Rashes could mean allergic reaction to drug and revlamide causes it but it could mean shingles and course revlamide causes that too. At any rate please get to a doctor immediately. For shingles you need an antiviral med or shots I take acylovir 400 mg one per day. For rashes I take Benadryl, calamine lotion and anti fungal powder to keep it dry!!!
Sweating being outside in the heat will make these rash outbreaks way worse you need to take cool showers stay inside in air conditioning!!!No camping sorry!!!!
When Did You Feel The Worst During Induction Treatment ? What Were Your Worst Side Effects And When Did They Go Away?
Has Anyone Taking Revlimid Had To Have Their Dose Reduced? I Was Taking 15 Mg And Now It Will Be Reduced To 10 Mg Because Of Side Effects.
Has Anyone Else Ever Have Their Absolute Neutrophil Go Down Below One? I Know It Is Part Of White Blood Counts.
