I have never taken Polmayst and I have a really itchy head but I researched it and it can be a side effect of MM or the treatment.

I always have to wash my hair before bed with a mild shampoo. Blood cancer itself can cause itching. My itching has gotten better the longer I have been on treatment. Sometimes Tylenol PM helps🥰.

Donna- thank you for the feedback. The itching has improved a bit. Tea tree shampoo and conditioner helped. Wow- 8 years on pomalyst. ! Only 2 years for me We must be on the same protocol. Pom and Dara. Wohoo!!!

I took Pomalyst for several years. I would occasionally develop a rash which would run its course and then go away. Not very often. I used lots hydrocortizone.
