Skin Rash

Has anyone developed skin rash from cuvitru injections ? I was receiving weekly injections to boost my immune system and 5 to 6 weeks ago I developed a skin rash, head to toes and is still going on.

I tried a few things but not success.

If so, would you know what kind of treatment would help?

Champlain, skin rash is listed as a side effect of cuvitro injections. If your rash appeared shortly after beginning injections, it’s reasonable to suspect cuvitro as a cause.

Having had rashes myself, perhaps related to ibrutinib use, and having seen a dermatologist for persistent rashes, I can say the the exact cause of a rash and even the type of some rashes can be hard to determine.

Regardless of the cause, the go to treatment for many rashes is typically some sort of steroid cream, over the counter or prescription.

But not all rashes are created equal. A shingles rash might be treated with antivirals.

If your rash persists at all, it’s best to report to your Cll doctor and see a dermatologist. A dermatologist might be able to identify the rash by sight or by biopsy and make sure you get the right treatment for whatever rash you have. Good luck.

Hmmm...

If its a rash around the site of the injection, and soon after too, injection more likely to be the cause.

A generalised rash more likely to have a cause from within.

Consult a a Doc! It could be important.
