Rash with Azacitadine - how to treat

You can get a large pink reaction to each of the Azacitadine injections.  This can be very itchy and cause discomfort - especially as you might have 14 of them across your stomach, all the size of a mans watch. The doctor offered anti-histamine tablets, but I heard about using evening primrose oil from Sophie at the MDS Patent Support Group in Kings www.mdspatientsupport.org.uk 

She had heard about it from a German article where they had done some research on it - see link to Evening Primrose Oil on this page 

What I did was to buy some tablets and then drill a small hole in a tablet such that I could put one drip onto each of the 14 rashes. I then rubbed it in gently once a day. This seemed to help me a lot.

If you want to try this, I suggest that you check it out with your doctor or specialist nurse.
