Experiencing a rash while on Leuprorelin (Prostap, Lutrate) hormone therapy.

I am just finishing 37 radiotherapy sessions and have been on hormone for 5 months. I had a couple of irritating spots under one of my arm pits for the past 2 months. In the past few days a rash has spread across my chest and neck and groin. Anyone else experience this during treatment?

Thanks

Been on prostrap for 15 months no experience of rash my worst problem is hot flushes in summer months found in 21 couldn’t sit in the sun without sweat pouring off me. I’m on zytiga 500gms as well which maybe doesn’t help Hope you find reason for rash !!

On Eligard and Abi+P for a year. recently developed itchy skin rashes like yours. it comes and goes. The oncologist doesn't seem to have much of a clue and suggested going for the dermatology. Didn't go that way. A hot shower is my remedy, it's working.

Had a horrible rash over most of body that is slowly healing after about 4 and a half years. Chemo, lupron, xgeva, gabapentin, celebrex, xtandi, tramadol w/acetaminophen. Took Vitamin D and Broccomax for a while. MO said none of the drugs I was taking would cause a rash. The drug inserts said almost all of the drugs I was taking could cause a rash and to contact doctor. Hopefully you have better luck than I did. I must go. Hard to type and scratch at the same time.

Thanks for yoircreply. Mine now looks likes Hives which can be caused by hormonal changes which makes sense. Happy scratching.😀

You have to consider possible medical allergy. If it doesn’t cycle with the chemo then you may need to change your ADT drug. I was allergic to Eligard and went later to Firmagon with no problem.
