Observe the skin; if it worsens seek derm consult. Decision to start Brinsupri based on recommendation by pulmonologist. Impossible to know in short term if skin side effects are from Brinsupri. Keep a diary and review on periodic basis to see if you detect a correlation?

I’ve been on since Jan1st. After 8 weeks I noticed very dry skin on my legs. It’s now been 5 full months and it has progressed to almost reptile like skin. It’s not a dry skin that you can hydrate with lotions and potions which I do twice a day, it’s from the inside. The dry scales and patches don’t flake off everywhere - thankfully- but the skin on my legs feels so very different, No other side effects thus far.
I made an appointment with my dermatologist, haven't gone yet. I have been on Brinsupri for 2 months. I've had dry skin and my skin grows scaly crusty things, some that have been deemed precancerous and so taken off, but there was suddenly more and bigger ones and they bled.
