I started my chemo last Thursday. Have had my first dose of Velcade and have been taking 25mg of Revlimed daily. Last night my scalp started to itch and it’s continued today. Had anyone else experienced this, and if so, any suggestions on relief?

I also have itchy scalp with Velcade. My dermatologist says that chemo can cause psoriasis. She gave me some very good cream.

My husband broke out in a red, itchy rash from his shoulders to his mid thighs. Happened twice doctor said probably the Revlimid. First time was really bad had to take prednisone orally but it cleared up in a week. Second time wasn’t as bad but again used prednisone It’s a funny drug because it can effect you different ways. Antihistamines should help you

I am on revlimid and scalp itches all the time! I thought it was just hair growing back in. Now it makes sense.
