While lying down or reclining itself doesn't typically cause rashes, some myeloma treatments like Velcade (bortezomib) injections in the abdomen area can cause localized rashes and pain around the injection site. If you're experiencing rashes in the stomach area, one solution some people have found helpful is asking their healthcare team about receiving injections in a different location, such as below the shoulder. Rashes can be a common side effect of several myeloma treatments, including immunomodulatory drugs like Revlimid (lenalidomide), chemotherapy, and corticosteroids. If you're experiencing a rash, it's important to let your oncologist know about any skin changes before starting any over-the-counter treatments, as they can recommend the most appropriate solution based on your specific treatment plan.
