Gem, not to alarm you or contradict squirleypoo's experience, but skin GVHD can be a very difficult problem. You must be vigilant about reporting rashes, redness, or skin irritations that seem to come out of no where or develop over a couple of days. It's much better to control the problem before it gets out of hand than to assume it's nothing and wait for it to go away. Unfortunatley, I know several patients who were seriously affected by skin GVHD soon after their transplants and continue to be long afterwards. Just for balance, I should say that I never had any skin GVHD and was very grateful not to have to deal with it.
Regards,
Ruth
