Tom Nelson, your rash is coming back even at low dose 2.5 Revlimid. Can you talk with your oncologist about treating the rash in an unconventional manner? My husband’s oncologist told him to take a “cocktail” of over-the-counter meds…. 2 Pepcid pills, one Claritin pill, and one L-Lysine each day to see if the rash cleared. It did! He takes Revlimid only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Revlimid at 10 mg caused a severe raised-welt rash nearly all over his body. At Revlimid 2.5, three days a week, and taking the “cocktail” he is rash-free. We’ve just started reducing the “cocktail” from every day to taking it only on M W and F with the Revlimid pill.
So far just a tiny rash on the insides of his forearms, not even requiring hydrocortisone. It clears then re-appears, then clears again.
