My husband was diagnosed with multiple myeloma almost 7 years ago. He has had 2 stem cell transplants from siblings, and although the cancer came back, the graft versus host disease has put the cancer into remission. However, whether due to the treatment, medicines, or who- knows-what, he has a lot of skin problems. The main problem is not the skin cancers which have developed and been dealt with, but something that has baffled the dermatologists. His scalp will get very mottled and red, and is extremely painful for long periods of time. It is bad when putting your head on a pillow makes it feel like needles are sticking in it. The pain is sometimes sharp, sometimes throbbing, and other times burning. His scalp also gets very scaley sometimes. Nothing provides relieft, and the pain is bad enough to be debilitating. Does anyone have experience with this problem or know of a doctor that specializes in unusual skin problems resulting from cancer treatments, or possibly from the graft versus host disease?
