Hi, I was diagnosed with MALT Stage 1 Lymphoma on my left parotid gland last Feb. Started Rituximab treatment in May 2023, had 8 doses, once a week for two months. I’m now on 3 monthly monitoring for two years. First two monitoring appts I’m all clear. Question I have is that I’ve developed spots on top of my arms and on my back. They have appeared since my treatment dropped. I’ve seen my haematologist about it and I’m waiting to see an NHS dermatologist but this isn’t until April. I just wondered if anyone else had spots that appeared, after treatment, they go in to a scab, dry up and eventually go, but if they grt caught on clothes they bleed. They aren’t itchy or hurt. Has anyone else experienced this before and can you recommend some creams I can put on to them to moisturise them and improve them too. It’s quite depressing really. Have a holiday booked in summer and want to reduce these spots altogether. Not sure how long drugs stsy in your body. I also had steroid infusions at same time of treatment. Also even though I exercise 5 days a week up to an hr, I can’t lose weight another problem I think caused by the therapy.
