Hmmm, I have the last several months started getting these red spots on my skin. I wonder now if it is the same type rash you mentioned. I noticed the first couple at my hairline and over one shoulder blade. Then I had a few around and just under my neck on my chest. This has been weeks and I do not recall if they started at the time of infusion, but could have been. I have sleep apnea and have had a blister on the bridge of my nose where the CPAP mask fits that seems to take a long time to heal, so now I am thinking it is one of those red spots that gets irritated whenever I go back to using the mask after taking a break for it to "heal." This morning I awoke and have more red spots on my upper and lower chest, in my arm pits, and in my pubic hair area. Sometimes they itch, but not always - especially if I do not rub them. I could be wrong, but I am concluding that they are showing up in hair follicles (or where there were hair follicles). I could be wrong. Does this sound in anyway similar to your rash? When I got my annual from my primary doc about a month ago, he said the few I had at that time were just due to being 87 years of age. I'm not sure about that explanation and need more answers for the cause of these spots and how to get rid of them, if available.
