A persistent skin rash after chemotherapy is a recognized late effect for Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. It can show up in different ways, including redness, discoloration, or visible widened blood vessels near the skin's surface (sometimes called telangiectasia), which can appear as red or dark purple spider-like lines.

Hair loss (alopecia) is another skin-related side effect that may accompany a rash after treatment. Some MyLymphomaTeam members have shared what helped them manage rash symptoms after treatment:

- Prescription steroid creams (such as 0.05% or triamcinolone acetonide 0.1%)
- Over-the-counter moisturizing skin creams used daily
- Aloe vera to help with inflammation and itching
- Cannabis oil or cream
- Anti-inflammatory foods and juices (e.g., blueberries, ginger, turmeric)
- Daily walking and light exercise

It's really important to let your doctor know about any persistent rash. A dermatologist referral may also be helpful, as some members found prescription treatments made a big difference.
