Pegasys Interferon side affects

Hi Everyone, Happy Monday

Anyone here experienced issues with the skin on your palms peeling on Pegasys Interferon? Currently on 45mcg weekly injections and issue only seems to have started since I restarted the injections about 4/5 weeks ago?

Thanks

Ben

I had very dry skin when I first started Pegasys. After a few months I’ve got used to it and my skin has adjusted. I did get peeling palms the first time I took penicillin. ( I had a terrible reaction the second time - turns out I’m allergic!)
