Re: Revlimid as initial maintenance therapy

I had the itchy scalp and dry, flaky skin problem for about a month after starting on Revlimid. It has since subsided to a point. While my scalp no longer itches, my skin is still drier than it used to be but not as flaky. Given that I had extremely oily skin, this is not an entirely bad thing, I guess. Is it normal for these conditions to subside after a while? I have no idea. I'm just giving you my personal experience.

I've been taking Revlimid and dex for 18 months. My skin is extremely dry, especially on my arms and legs. I use a good body lotion daily, but it doesn't seem to help. I never have experienced prolonged dry skin before except during the winter when I might not be as good about keeping up the daily body lotion.
