I have been taking pictures of my rash, every new place that pops up, I document so that I can show the doctors when I had back to NYC on April 12th. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed it is just an indicator that I am INDEED receiving the drug and responding!Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983041684417338248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-28797805433079900182012-03-27T19:08:36.763-04:002012-03-27T19:08:36.763-04:00Chelsea, the rash may indeed be a reaction to the ...Chelsea, the rash may indeed be a reaction to the Yervoy. It is a common side effect. I've read that may also be a positive reaction in that responders often get a rash.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-19977435416442763192012-03-23T08:28:58.638-04:002012-03-23T08:28:58.638-04:00First Chelsea thank you for posting your story; it...First Chelsea thank you for posting your story; it's well written and expresses how many of us feel. As far as the rash, I've been getting it on my face and chest for the past three years. It started off as just a few spots on my face, then the following year, had doubled in quantity, then tripled. What I found was that I get this rash on sunny days (just go out for 5 minutes and I'm covered), but it never happens on raining days. I've been to several derms and they all prescribed cortisone creams and say I super sensitive. I have not changed anything in soaps, etc and tried many different things, even seen an allergist. They have no clue. I feel that perhaps it's related to my melanoma also.<br /><br />Do you find the spots get scaley or leak and then disappear in 3 to 4 days? I'm tired of cortisoid creams, I've researched it and it thins your skin but I'm frustrated because my chest and face at times look like I have a severe allergy. I've chatted online with others, and they too have the same issue, no one knows what it is.<br /><br />Just wanted to share my experience.

You are right, that tan skin sure wasn't worth this.

Even thou you haven't changed soaps, what kind do you use? They may have changed the formula. I was faithful to Tide FOREVER and this very thing happened because they changed the original formula and my skin freaked out. <br /><br />Hope this helps some.Kismahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05457391863350629238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5994336640653689680.post-91268218090024404092012-03-20T21:27:03.797-04:002012-03-20T21:27:03.797-04:00I seem to have weird things going on with my skin ...I seem to have weird things going on with my skin a lot. It seems to have gotten super sensitive! My last incision (which was benign) blistered and oozed...the surgeon had no idea why it happened. Then I developed rashes on my arms. I would call and tell them and told to use benedryl. I finally stopped in the office so they could see just how bad it was. Only explanation was just super sensitivity...and prescribed a cream that worked, but took a long time. <br />Take care! <3<br />Melindamhleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12550745288801626694noreply@blogger.com
