RobertGallegos- Same experience here. Frustrating, but not avoidable for me. Sadly, mine turn to purpura that last for WEEKS. And, I am more tired, but there is no point going there, right? Be well.

I had what looked like skin rash but it was" petechiae," which is exploding capillaries. I was over exerting and this was causing my skin problem. The problem would go away after a few days. I would over work and cause high damage and my skin damage would last for weeks. I had no help with my doctors but I did read about this problem here which helped me solve my health problem.

Can taking Ponatinib (Iclusig) at 45mg cause skin rash side effects for CML?

Yes, skin rashes are a known side effect of ponatinib (Iclusig) and other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) used to treat CML.

While the search results don't list skin rash as a specific side effect of ponatinib, they do confirm that skin rashes are common side effects across the class of TKI medications used for CML treatment, which includes ponatinib.

If you're experiencing a skin rash while taking ponatinib, it's important to tell your healthcare team right away. They can help determine if the rash is related to your medication and recommend ways to manage it.

Your doctor may:
* Prescribe medications to help with the rash
* Suggest topical treatments
* Adjust your dosage if needed
* Monitor the rash to ensure it doesn't worsen

Most side effects from TKIs, including skin issues, tend to become less noticeable or fade over time. However, never stop or adjust your medication without talking to your doctor first, as consistent treatment is crucial for managing CML effectively.
