Yes, itchy skin with red dots that grow larger is a common experience among people with lymphoma. This itching can be particularly intense and may get worse at night or when you're warm. The itching occurs when your immune system reacts to lymphoma by releasing chemicals that irritate your skin. Many MyLymphomaTeam members have reported similar experiences with itchy bumps. To help manage the itching, you can:
- Use moisturizer regularly
- Take cool oatmeal baths
- Apply cool compresses
- Wear loose-fitting, soft clothes
- Keep fingernails trimmed to prevent scratching damage
- Avoid fragranced products

It's important to discuss these symptoms with your doctor, as they may improve with lymphoma treatment. Your doctor might also prescribe topical corticosteroids to help manage the inflammation and itching.
