Has anyone had patchy skin after going out in the sun while on Pembrolizumab? I am sure it is prembro side effects and I wonder if it will ever go. My chest is pink and white patches.
When I first started treatments I had a really itchy rash on my chest but that is much better now. 

I also have a dry mouth which has made my mouth feel strange. A bit like you have been drinking heavily the night before. This side effect has only started after 6 treatments. My top lip looked like I had filler which went wrong. It has come down a lot now. I have another treatment next Wednesday and then another year. I notice some people only have 1 year of treatments.

I feel I have been lucky to only have few manageable side effects but am worried about my patches as I am a bit embarrassed about it.

Thanks for any comments
