Yes, I have experienced exactly as you describe. I was prescribed Triamcinolone Acetonide Cream USP, 0.1% (it is a steroid) and I got the 1 lb. tub of it. It worked very well. That rash was my only experience with GVHD. It went away when using the cream. The interesting thing about it was that I would get the rash on both arms, or both legs, or both shoulders. It was always both. Then on my back or chest. Never any itch and the cream would start working immediately and might take a week to subside. It never got bad enough that it was any kind of a problem. The experience probably lasted about a month total.
