itchy rash

just wondering if anyone else has a horrible itchy bumpy rash? i have it since i started rituximab infusions?!! went to gp got tablets but think i need to go back and get some medicated wash, i look like a bumpy lizard and want to rub myself of walls and doors like a cow haha! the joys of drug side effects! thanks x

This sounds like an allergy reaction to the medication. I'm surprised your doctor hasn't asked you to come straight off of it. How is it now? Have you come off. Hoping you feel better soon. A cold bath can always help with burning itchy rashes.

thanks for the reply, it was awkward for me as my main docs were in ireland and when i was in uni in the uk i had a gp that was slightly retarded haha oim back home now as i have finished and im going to my gp wednesday oi have had the rash on and off since march so i am used to it and to be honest if it is a side effect of the rituximab i will gladly take it as it is working good for me, even though i have had mini flares and at the minute crippled with my back (i fell and injured it badly in august and still in agony with it even after xrays etc) the infusion seems alot better for me than the simponi and enbrel so i will take the rash
