Question: What causes persistent itching in specific spots with lymphoma?

Itching is a common symptom of lymphoma that can occur with or without a visible rash. The itching sensation often gets worse when you're hot or at night. This happens because your immune system may release chemicals that irritate your skin in response to lymphoma. Here are some tips to help manage the itching:
- Avoid scratching
- Keep fingernails trimmed
- Use moisturizer
- Apply cool compresses
- Wear soft, loose-fitting clothes
- Take an oatmeal bath

If the itching persists or becomes intense, especially if accompanied by bumps, please discuss this with your doctor as they may need to evaluate your symptoms.
