Hi , sorry to hear the skin GvHD has come back.

Just checked my note book and my skin GvHD was between days 85 -157........ sounds the same as you are having (but no pain) but it was very itchy.

I was given a few types of steroid creams for my body and my face, along with Hydromol moisturiser and Dermol 200 shower cream to use regularly and this all kept it under control until it disappeared.

Mine went away (acute) and then came back after 9 months or so (chronic). It was different the second time. Blotchy skin all over and, new to me was terrible sore mouth. It is just now starting to fade, but of course, no guarantees.

My early GvHD was also like pin points of red, merging to more dense blotches. But it was never itchy. After DLIs it came back in the creases in my elbows, which I'm told is a favorite spot.

The last few months (and I am nearly two years post allo) I have started getting itchy patches without redness (until I scratch it) in my elbows again. It goes with some Diprobase. I also had a more severe rash under my armpit which I was told to treat with hydrocortisone. To me both these look like eczema rather than the GvHD I had earlier. I will raise at next outpatients.
