Hi

I am currently having combined immunotherapy for stage 4 melanoma. One of the side effects I’m having is an itchy rash, it was bearable after the first round of treatment but since the second one 10 days ago  the itching is so intense, it’s keeping me awake at night and driving me insane. I have been prescribed antihistamines and some steroid cream yesterday but I’m aware steroid cream can interfere with treatment so I’ve started this reluctantly for a few days to see if it helps.

I was wondering if anyone has had the same symptoms and if they have used any none steroid cream that has helped at all?

Many Thanks

Claire
