Xtandi. Has anyone gotten a rash on legs and arms

I noticed a rash when I woke up in the morning. I have been taking Xtandi now for about a week. I spoke to my specialty pharmacist and he looked at the studies and said that no rashes have been reported.

The rash is not really visible you could just feel

bumps on the arms and legs.

has anyone heard of a side effect of getting a rash taking Xtandi ?

Thank you

I had a rash soon after starting Xtandi. However mine were very visable, red spots on my feet and smaller spots on my legs and chest. I gather this is an unusual side effect. I thought at first it might lead to a more serious allergic reaction but that never happened.

It took a few months to disappear but it never interrupted my treatment.

I developed a rash on my shins and feet that itched like crazy. I bought an expensive (GBP15.85) emollient from my chemist that has helped enormously.

I’ve gotten itchy spots that sometimes elevate to a worse condition. Started with first ADT , Lupron Xtandi, and continuing. Mostly I get them on collar bones and on the sides of my new manboobs. Occasionally I get a “ hard “ breakout on my forearms. For me OTC hydrocortisone cream works best. Benadryl doesn’t do much for me and my body chemistry. Picture below is a photo of a heavy arm breakout.
