I noticed itching when I was to hot during the summer. I use a fan to cool my body and the itching was controlled. I have itching problems during the summer but after I cool myself the skin nervous problem is controlled and the nerves are not disturbed or relaxed and no pain. Excess white blood cells can affect the nervous system and the skin had a large nervous system.

Itching and rash-like symptoms are common in people with CLL. Many experience what are called "insect bite-like reactions" - these are itchy rashes that can appear in unusual places and aren't actually from insect bites. The itching you're experiencing could be related to either the CLL itself or as a side effect of your medication. As one MyLeukemiaTeam member shared, they experienced "terrible itching and hives" as side effects from their CLL medication.

It's important to discuss any new or worsening skin symptoms with your healthcare team. They can help determine the cause and find the best treatment options for your specific situation.
