I’m having immunotherapy treatment and suffer from skin rashes on arms, back and scalp. Does anyone else have the.same side effects?
Hi Pots
i finished my last dose of immunotherapy Pembro at the end of January - yes the rashes can be from the treatment contact your CNS for creams that may help. I have them too Andy skin also itches where there is no rash at all. The rash also seems to pop up in small areas anywhere at any time. I have found as a general rule to keep my skin well moisturised helps - I have found Diprobase the best for me also soothing to the rash although I have something stronger from the Oncologist for bad patches Mometasone. I also take anti histamines which I think help too Fexofenadine - but it is about finding what works for you. Hope it settles for you really soon. All the best.
