Bad skin rash after finishing immunotherapy (Pembro)

I’ve got a nasty raw red rash which started on my feet but is now progressing up my body. It started after I’d finished my 12 months of Pembro - I didn’t have any rashes during treatment and had nothing like this before. Dermatology have ruled out fungal, viral and bacterial causes and assume it’s immunotherapy-related. I’m using a steroid cream but it doesn’t seem to be helping. Has anyone else had similar? I had been so looking forward to finishing my treatment and returning to some kind of normality so this (plus the return of loads of joint pain and an unhealed biopsy wound) has set me back really badly. 

  • Hi  

    That rash certainly sounds unpleasant and I hope your medical team are able to get on top of it soon.

    I don't have any personal experience but noticed that your post hadn't had any replies yet. Responding to you will 'bump' it back to the top of the discussion list again.
