What looks like a rash as lymphoma? I have a cell non-hodgekin diagnosis and treatment since June 2008 .. I read that itching can be a symptom. I have a rash on the face of my belly (there for a few days) and I wonder if it relates. My tumor was removed from the top of my head, and my lymph nodes (neck) are involved.
What related lymphoma look like a rash? Where on my body would it be? I'm probably paranoid - but any info would be helpful.
Thank you
"The Itch" is more commonly associated with Hodgkin's disease as non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. You may have with N-HL, it is simply not as common as in Hodgkin's disease. (There are also certain types of cutaneous lymphoma that could certainly cause a rash.)
I had "The Itch" with Hodgkin's disease on my chest ... It was an intense feeling under the skin, and no amount of scratching would relieve it. I found nothing, it would go. I literally rub the skin raw. I have not had a rash for a very long time, but in the end process, I had small red bumps on my skin in the same area. I have had many illnesses in my chest, but I also had a lot of him in my stomach and my abdomen was not itching.
This site offers the itch would not rash.: http://www.lymphomainfo.net/lymphoma/sym ...
I understand the paranoia every time my chest itch a little it bothers me!
I run it by my oncologist and see what he / she says. Many, many things could cause non-cancerous itching and rashes if your and I had to guess, I would say it is not related to your N-HL. But if it were me, I see my oncologist and make sure it is not bound. Good luck.
You did not say what type of lymphoma that you NH. You can not say whether or not you are experiencing itching. If you're itching a lot so I could be a little worried.
I doubt your rash is related to recidivism.
Here is a picture of a rash of cutaneous lymphoma T-cell

Once you have had a type of lymphoma you stay with an increased risk of recurrence at the time of the novel and also other types of lymphoma and leukemia. The risk is only slightly higher than the general population, but this is still a factor of increased risk.
Treat your rash with hydrocortisone cream for a few weeks. I suspect that the rash will disappear. However, if you start running a fever or night sweats obtain or have severe itching and then make sure and consult your doctor immediately. If nothing happens, symptoms, imagine how the rash and itching will determine how long I thought I'd see the doctor
good luck
