Experiencing Hives After ASCT?
AI-generated title
HIVES! Anyone encounter body hives and/or scalp hives after their ASCT?
Looking for anyone who may have developed a "new" medication OR food allergy after ASCT. I was never allergic to anything prior. I started to develop hives about one month after my transplant (APR 2025). At that time, docs started me on BACTRIM and acyclovir. The hives continued coming. My scalp was the worse, but random hives elsewhere also. Went to a derma and continued with oncology, both would tell me "it's an immune reaction." OK, but please fix this!!! I would use topicals, which helped some, but prednisone would clear everything. To keep this short, I stopped bactrim, acyclovir and do not take my REVLIMID at this point. I STILL encounter body and scalp hives. NOW, I am wondering now if this a food related allergy I have developed.
I will say, SEPT 2024, when I initally started darza/K/dex and revlimid PRE ASCT, I always had a mild rash. Tolerable but nothing like it is now.
Anyone else experience this?? THANK YOU! in advance.
