Exemestane and skin problems

I have really itchy skin, thinking it might be due to the Exemestane. Anyone relate to this?? 

  • Hello Rache29, 

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It is possible that the exemestane has caused this itchy skin as it is listed as one of the occasional side effects that are experienced with this drug. You can read more about exemestane and the side effects associated with it on this page.

    If you haven't done so already, do talk to your doctor about these skin issues you have been having and the fact you suspect it may be linked to Exemestane. Your doctor be able to give you some suggestions on how to treat it or alleviate your symptoms. 

    I hope that you will hear from other forum members who have suffered similar skin reactions when taking Exemestane and that they will be along shortly to share their experience with you.

    Best wishes,
