I developed a slight rash and severe itching. My Doctor took me off and now I receive Velcade injection once a week for three weeks, then take a week off. This has stronger side effects like diarrhea and slight nausea for about 24 hours after injection.
I too have a rash after restarting Revlimid post SCT. I use a steroid cream to keep it controlled.
I also had to give up on Revlimid due to various rashes from just a chest and neck rash to full body rashes. When the rashes broke out, my head itched tremendously. I’m currently on Pomalyst- same class of drug as Revlimid but much stronger and was developed with less side effects. After 16 months since my switch- I’ve had zero rashes. Good stuff!

24 hours of an IVIG infusion. He was diagnosed in 2017.

This is especially true for those undergoing treatments like stem cell transplants, as the immune system can be more sensitive. Velcade, which you're now receiving, is also a common treatment for myeloma Show Full Answer
