Yes, skin issues are quite common with CLL, affecting 25-50% of people with the condition. What you're describing could be what's known as "insect bite-like reactions" - these are itchy rashes that can appear in unusual places and aren't actually from bug bites. They're a known symptom of CLL. These skin changes can vary from person to person and might be related to the CLL itself or be a side effect of treatment. Some MyLeukemiaTeam members have reported experiencing similar symptoms, including rashes and hives. It's important to document any new skin changes and report them to your healthcare team, particularly if they're painful or causing discomfort.

I never realized I had the CLL skin prob I em till it went away. I thought it was just the consequences of a bad run in with poison ivy that was lasting for months. But the bumps and red marks have gone away.
