Itchy bumps.

I'm having these bumps appear in random places on my body and they itch.
Dose anyone else have this?
I was recently tried a new drug Mavenclad. I'm wondering if it's a reaction to the drug. I was told it shouldn't be any reactions after 5 days of taking the medication. I only took it 5 Days 1 month and 5 days a second month and they said I don't need it again for a year.
Any thoughts?

  1. Hmmm, that sounds really uncomfortable. We are not medical professionals whatsoever but it sounds like maybe you're having an allergic reaction to your new medication. Mavenclad's site does mention possible skin rash, swelling or itching of the face, lips, tongue or throat, etc. ( https://www.mavenclad.com/en/home/why-mavenclad/safety-and-side-effects.html#:~:text=MAVENCLAD%20can%20cause%20serious%20allergic,or%20symptoms%20of%20allergic%20reactions .) I would absolutely call your doctor and make them aware of this so they can discuss this with you and also notate it in your chart. Have you reached out to them yet? Would be curious to know their thoughts, even if they said you shouldn't have a reaction after 5 days. Everyone's body reacts differently to medication, so I would imagine you could experience an allergy even outside of that timeframe they mentioned. I hope you're able to get in touch with them and get some relief from those bumps and itching. I also hope others see your post here and chime in with their experiences. - Kayleigh, Team Member
