My pharmacist told me I could get a rash on this drug.

Not sure if it is related to your medication, but there is a rash people get when exercising or on their feet a long time in the heat. Most of the time it is above the sock line. You did not go into detail about your rash but you may want to research “Disney Rash” or EIV (exercised induced vasculitis). Not sure if this helps with your question.

Well I can toss in a random here. My skin basically went crazy starting about six weeks ago. I was so dumb that it took me a month to figure out that my oncologist had put me on an adjuvant antibiotic that happens to be the only drug I am allergic too.

I think I know what a rattlesnake feels like when it's moulting.

I usually research every drug I get prescribed. Of course this is the one time I didn't.

Rash has been reported with zanubritinib, so its possible its drug related. Try to see if theres any "sun exposure" correlation to the rash. I get phototoxicity with a few meds that have the possibility, perhaps you do too. I just need to cover up/avoid direct sunlight for more than mmmm roughly 1/2 hour. Or as JLJC noted, exercise (on top of a drug that can cause rash) may be a trigger.

Does it come with the ice pack? Why are you using an ice pack?
