No. But if I go in the sun without sunscreen, I get red and brown patches that won't go away. Revlimid and Pomalyst make us very sensitive to the sun. So I try to put sunscreen on my face every day. I need to remember to do my arms , neck and ears as well. I wear a onesie surfer bathing suit. TMI. It's always something to worry about 😏
When I initially started taking the Revlemed I was getting a 25 mg dose. Ultimately it caused a severe itchy rash. Prescription cortisone medication gave me some relief but I was very uncomfortable. In response my doctor reduced my dose to 10 mg and I have not had a negative reaction to the Revlemed since that time. The reduced dose did not negatively affect my treatment.
SandraEdson - Your situation sounds much more complicated. Good kick. I hope you get the relief you need.

What is the BEST sunscreen without all the harmful chemicals? Thanks for any ideas.
Yes, skin lesions and rashes are known side effects of taking Revlimid (lenalidomide). Studies have shown that about 19% of patients develop itchy rashes while taking this medication. While this can be concerning, some research suggests that rashes caused by lenalidomide may actually be linked to higher survival rates Show Full Answer
