@tally9004 Yes, when we get two differing opinions we need to seriously consider what is being said. Are you doing any other drugs besides the Revlimid, like Dexamethasone and Ninlaro?

I started on Revlimid August 2021, and except for a few months break last year, have been on it consistently. Recently we added Ninlaro to the regimen. Dexamethasone has been there since Aug 2021, first at 20mgs once a week, now at 12mg once a week since June 2023. Personally, I would follow the advice of my myeloma specialist, not a primary care, in how to handle the rash. Unless there is another protocol to change to, lowering the dose may balance the unwanted side effects. It may also slow down the response numbers, but you have to balance everything out. I had some slight rash on lower legs from the Revlimid, but using a high quality Vitamin E cream really helped, plus making sure my fluid intake was good.

Hi, Ginger. I'm trying to figure out if Revlimid is responsible for my flaky skin. It doesn't appear to be a rash but I seem to be "peeling" (dry skin) mostly lower legs. I do take vitamin E 180 mg (400 IU) daily. Maybe I'll try the cream as well.
