Skin rash / Lupron

[Nusch]

In the last weeks I experience skin rash with itching. It started in body areas where I sweat while exercising and now is more or less all over. I read that rash is a SE of Lupron. Who else is/was experiencing this and what are potential detours? Any ideas?

I have had same issues on Firmagon and now Orgovyx. It seems the drugs shut down my body's production of sebum, thus resulting in skin rashes as you describe as well as severely cracked, dry hands.Once I started my regiment of nightly hot Epsom salt baths, the problem completely disappeared. Hope this helps. ✝️🙂

I am on Firmagon and Erleada. Developed itchy skin rash on my chest. Twice daily treatment with 1% Lamisil (terbinafine hydrochloride) topical lotion has greatly relieved both my rash and itchiness, though not completely (yet?).

Many thx, I‘m using Lamisil, too.

I want to correct my answer: what I am using for my chest rash is 1% hydrocortisone cream, not Lamisil, which I use for another reason. Sorry for my mistake - I blame it on ADT brain!😏

I also had a rash & uncontrollable itching mainly on legs when I was on Firmagon. One demazin tablet a day for allergy + hay fever relief keeps it under control.

Just another SE of ADT.

Nusch, I hope this helps you, as this relieved my husband of terrible itching on his back, under his arms and sides. This line of products for your skin are so good for you, no harsh chemicals.
