Weird red Mark on my leg.

I am on imbruvica plus Venetoclax clinical trial.

Is this something that happens with ibruvica ? Or V? Anything to be concerned about?

Trial has been going well. Blood levels are back to normal within four months of starting a trial. I feel good energy has gotten much better. My large Nodes went down within a week .

I had cellulitis about a year ago and had a big red spot on my leg 3" in diameter so that's the only reason I'm concerned with this. Then my nodes were big in itself painful. Overall I feel very good Now.

I have been on Imbruvica for 16 months. Yes, I also get some skin marks/issues. Seems like skin is more sensitive to the sun also.

I've posted several times that each of my 4 treatments for CLL caused skin rashes, Imbruvica was the worst for me. I also believe that Imbruvica is known to affect blood clotting and I saw frequent and unusual bruises appear when I did not recall impacts in that location. Also several of the bruises stayed red and never turned purple or yellow. Skin biopsies found significant accumulations of T cells and B cells in a specific - deep skin layer.

I'm on ibrutinib and get red marks on my skin fairly often. They seem to be lessening with time. Are you on the full dose of 3 capsules per day?
