I have unusual places show up on my skin but apparently mine aren't anything to worry about and don't itch. I was told to keep an eye out for changes.

I used clobetasol proprionate for almost 2 years. It cause Cushing's syndrome and I had acne at 66 years old.

Dear Butterfly, I generally like the advice from Mymyelomateam regarding rashes etc., however, I would not use clobetasol cream on your "blemishes" unless they itch. Generally, rashes that scale (may be what you describe as "peel off") are usually a psoriasis like reaction, which some medications can cause.

It sounds like you're experiencing some unexpected skin changes. In the context of multiple myeloma, it's not uncommon for patients to develop various skin issues due to the disease itself or as a side effect of treatments. These can include rashes, discolored bumps, and other skin lesions. It's important to discuss any new or worsening skin conditions with your healthcare team. They might recommend seeing a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Remember, managing skin health is an important part of overall care for individuals with myeloma.
