I was on anastrozole for a year. My onco put me on exemestane due to finger stiffness at night. No significant side effects from exemestane for the first 8 months, now I have rashes and skin itchiness. Wonder if anyone experiences the skin problem while on exemestane?

I have not tried exemestane, but I had very itchy burning scalp while on Anastrozole! It was so bad.

I have been on Exemestane for about a year or so and the side effects for me are being tired all the time and a little weight gain, My moods are iffy, but not as bad as they were on Anastrozole. I've haven't had any skin itchiness or any rashes.
