Guest guest Posted September 29, 2005 Report Share Posted September 29, 2005 Adrienne: I have had some blisters over the past three years since beginning gleevec. They come on my right shin. I also had a cluster in my head, and a small cluster on my neck. They come and go. They do not get worse. I had biopsies because my oncologist was concerned but they showed nothing. It is definitely related to Gleevec. They resemble chickenpox actually. And after they popped up - and settled down, then they scarred. I now look like I have burn scars. On occasion they flair up and then subside. I hope your husbands clears up and know that you are not alone.

They don't seem to be associated with any irritation to the skin in those areas and they pop quite easily. When they pop they then form a small sore typical of any blister that pops. His skin is quite fragile and he's had his share of rashes from Gleevec but he's never had these little blisters before. They don't itch, but they are rather annoying all the same. We were curious whether anyone else has had something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
