It sounds like you might be asking about skin rashes or skin changes on your body — and yes, many people with myeloma do experience these!

Skin changes can happen for a few reasons, including:

- Treatment side effects — medications like Revlimid or Velcade (bortezomib) are known to cause rashes or skin reactions
- A compromised immune system — myeloma can make the skin more vulnerable
- Post-transplant reactions — some members have noticed rash-like bumps after a stem cell transplant

The fact that it's getting smaller and less red could be a good sign, but it's still really important to show your oncologist or doctor, even if it's improving. Some MyMyelomaTeam members have found relief using clobetasol cream for rashes from belly injections, while others found that switching their injection site helped reduce skin reactions altogether.

Always check with your care team before trying any over-the-counter treatments, just to make sure nothing interferes with your current medications. A quick photo sent to your doctor can be a great way to get their eyes on it without a full visit! 📸
