Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a rash from taking Revlimid and how did your doctor manage the symptoms. My doctor had me discontinue use because of a rash and I am not on day 11, I have a slight rash on my arm. My MM specialist recommends lowering the dose but my local doctor wants me to discontinue the drug. There is a definite difference in approach by the two doctors.

@tally9004, skin rash is common with Revlimid (lenalidomide) therapy and usually resolves within 2 to 3 weeks. For mild rash, treatment isn't usually interrupted. But severe rash may need attention. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/drugs-revlimid-side-effects#specifics

When doctors' advice differ, it is hard to know what to do. Did you lower the dose, Tally? How are you doing now?
