Some very small just on the normally exposed arms (elbow to wrist) but not enough to worry about. I'm in the sun a lot and wear sleeves or upf long sleeves MOST of the time. I put some of my wife's healing cream on sometimes. No itch.
@tconz Vfend can cause skin issues which I’m sure Rick will explain to you. I was on Vfend forever ( a year or more) and I did get a skin rash similar to what you are describing. It was short lived and clearly may have been from something else. My main side effect was my eyes going wonky and things looking yellowy for a few hours after I took it. That lasted a few months - nothing painful, and then I took it with no side effects . I had to have monthly blood tests at UMASS for the Vfend levels. That is important. Good luck. irene5
Hi tconz,
I remember reading about the side effects of this medication, rash is a common one. But I would check with the doctor to confirm if it is the rash caused by the medication and whether the rash goes away sometime.
The instructions mention that some side effects like blur vision would go away in a few months.
Take care!
