Brinsupri experience after 3+ months

Thank you for starting this thread for those of us on BRINSUPRI 3+ months or more!
I started on October 1, 2025 and am into the 4th month. After just 1 week I was calling it the miracle drug. All the positive feedback I have read about on this site I have experienced as well. HOWEVER, at the 5 week mark I became aware of a couple of little red dots on my legs as well as dry patches on my skin. Since then I’ve developed extremely dry peeling skin as well as a horrible skin rash across my trunk. The red dots turn into painful itchy sores leaving me feeling as if my skin is crawling… I have read skin issues can be a side effect of BRINSUPRI, but nowhere can I find how long this may last (forever?), how to treat this condition (yes, I have tried everything including Benadryl, oatmeal baths, prescription lotions!). I am on the 25mg dosage and wonder if I should cut it in half, or temporarily stop BRINSUPRI altogether… Has anyone else experienced these issues? If so, how have you managed them?

@whitemarsh Hi. sorry to hear about your skin problems. I've not started on the medication yet but have has numerous squamous skin cancers--some requiring surgery so interested in all the posts. Have you discussed this reaction with your doctor? Also, are you on the lower dosage? Perhaps you could take a break off the Brinsupri and see if your skin conditions show improvement. Good luck.
