Blotches and Red Blood spots

[Chuddie48]

Hi I'm on the Flair Trial I had my first of 6 treatments of Rituximab along with Ibrutinib and have been well apart from having Blood spots and getting a red blotch like sunburn on my cheek ,I see my specialist soon and have my next dose of Retuximab next week just hoping those symptoms are common thanks

You should inform your med team of any side effects especially as you are on a trial!

Skin rashes are common with rituximab but because you are also taking ibrutinib don't delay in informing them!

Best wishes

I was on ibrutinib for 5 weeks then started a very small rash that progressed rapidly. If you are starting a rash as a possible side effect of your treatment you should report it to the oncologist immediately as he/she may be able to medicate and reduce the symptoms. Good luck!
