Prolia Side Effects Skin Rash (Page 2) (Top voted first)

I developed a red burning itchy lumpy rash after one injection of Prolia. Mainly on face neck chest arms scalp. Anyone else?

REPORT

First i had to take a short burst of prdnisone. Then i used oral benadryl and topical 1% hydrocortisone lotion. I also took oatmeal baths. As the months went by the rash breakouts were easier to control the itch. I am 6months out but still very sensitive. Make my own face oil with shea butter, coconut oil and jojoba oil, cant use any pergumes or essential oils topically.

I HAD MY FIRST INJECTION OF PROLIA ON JULY 31, 2017. ABOUT A WEEK LATER I THOUGHT IT WAS MOSQUITO BITES I WAS GETTING BUT NOW I AM SURE IT IS A RASH FROM THE PROLIA. THEY LOOK LIKE BITES AND ARE VERY ITCHY. EVERYDAY I SEEM TO GET A LITTLE MORE. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THE PROLIA RASH LOOKS LIKE MOSQUITO BITES? I HAVE THEM ON MY NECK, UPPER ARMS, THIGHS AND NOW MY HANDS.

This rash plays cruel tricks!

It is 9 months since my first injection, 3 months since the second (and last). I occasionally feel as though it is gradually dissipating, but each time it bounces back with renewed intensity.
Today I woke up with huge purple blotches on my face, as well as a fiery red chest and itching and stinging all over.

After a busy and active day yesterday, I am a miserable couch potato, muttering obscenities today.

My GP prescribed Novasone lotion four months ago and my skin lapped it up. It pretty much saved my sanity. However, the generous prescription allowed me to use it for too long. Now I have a secondary set of side-effects, seemingly centered on my face. Massive itching, horrible flaring of previously minor rosacea, hot facial flushes (its summer here!). Now I am trying to get by with coal tar and menthol cream which helps to a very small degree. I just don't have the courage to use Prednisone or to use Novasone at the worst times.

The cyclical nature of this thing, due to the half-life issue, is particularly nasty.

Re: TEten (# 24)

I know precisely how you feel, unfortunately. I wish I could offer suggestions other than what you probably know already.
Some people, braver than me, have used Prednisone to deal with the skin issues and it seems to work for them. Not for me - this drug can actually cause bone loss! Novasone lotion helped me a lot, until its own side-effects caused additional itching on my face, thinning of my skin, and redness and swelling of my nose, as well and hot red cheeks. Charming! Anyway, Novasone is useful in a limited way, especially for the scalp and drizzling down my back to those unreachable places. Staying cool, loose clothes, natural fibers, cold compresses, no bra, all help in a small way. See my post below for more. Sometimes analgesics help me sleep. I've had this for nine months now and it seems to be gradually easing overall, but with dreadful outbreaks of stinging still happening occasionally. The itching is now mostly concentrated on my upper body, not all over, so I guess that's progress of a sort. Bon chance!

Hi Poodle

I am struggling to type this post as I have just had macular hole eye surgery. It came on quite fast... have had RX of sogrens with dry eyes... are you aware of others with this after Prolia? My Prolia was 01/15 and I have posted since then... you are my constant in the know. I mentioned my Prolia issues to the retina specialist but he had no say on the matter... have you heard of any?

Hello, Willy! How are you?

That can be a side effect of Prolia, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, hypocalcemia, asthenia and fatigue.

However, since it is itchy, you should have it checked out, because it could be an allergic reaction that requires medical treatment.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I am in the very same boat. Can u please tell me how your itch was remedied. I feel like I may go crazy. Got medication from the dermatologist without success :-( Thanks so much.

Yes, I had horrible rashes mainly in my scalp and face. Loss of a lot of hair also. Horrible Drug! Wish I had been made aware of all the terrible side effects of Prolia before having my first injection. It is a drug used for cancer, a form of Chemo. But Amgen does not advertise that information. I get upset when I hear an ad promoting Prolia. It was a horrible drug for me and others that I know that took it.
