    I did two infusions of yervoy 10mg. Third is on the 15th. This week my skin seems to be more itchy but there is no rash. Mostly arms, legs, and on the palms of my hands. When you guys had the yervoy itch did you have a rash or just itchy skin. It’s very tolerable now. Greg

      Yes, itch and rash. For me the itch came before the rash. The distribution of my rash was similar to your itch – arms and thighs and surprisingly bilateral.

        I had an annoying but tolerable itch after my second ipi infusion (on rash)   During my third and immediately following I had a sever headache which turns out to be hypophysitis.  Just tell your doctors anything that feels different or comes on suddenly.

        Good luck to you!

      Like everybody else, I had the rash along with the itch. Now I'm getting Keytruda, and it is producing something similar to what you're getting with Yervoy: I itch all over (part of it may be due to the dry winter air…I've always had dry skin in the winter) but I have very little rash to go along with it.
