Hi, anyone have any experience of rashes from atezolizumab or pembro? What helped? Thanks and a lovely weekend to all

  • Hi I was on a different immunotherapy , and I developed a very itchy rash on my arms thighs and chest, I spoke to  the nurse at the hospital and was prescribed QV wash  for bathing which is a soap substitute and a moisturiser called epimax, the rash cleared up a few days later,

  • Yes I had a very itchy rash dr gave me a pill to stop itching ceclizine I thinks it's called spelling not sure ,?

    Also cream to apply rash went eventually and has not returned it's pretty normal with immunoth-erapy 

    Don't worry 

  • Thanks for your replies. Do you happen to know what the cream was called?

  • Hi, I was on cemiplimab and developed a really nasty rash on my legs, Was prescribed Eumovate cream which cleared it up. 

  • No but a cortisone cream I think, but the pills stop the itching felt a bit drowsy but itching stopped 

    E45 was also effective 

    Ask you oncologist I suggest
