Reply With QuoteHi there Zea,
I had (and I think quite a lot do) a number of brown-ish "stripes" appear on various parts of my body (back, shoulders, upper legs...). I think they're a pretty typical side effect of the drugs. My onc wasn't very concerned...

After the end of first cycle my boyfriend got some strange hard blisters on his fingertips. They are red and not to big, and some of them are painful..
Also at different places on the body, skin changed color, like few little brown spots. Someone told me that can be side effect from Emend.
Did you have this kind of side effect?

Do not scratch. My husband has permanent brown scratches on his shoulder. They have not faded with time. I don't know what drug they are from but they suck.

brown streaks are from bleo. for me it's kind of a plus cause they happened to contour down the side of my abs, makes me look like i got great ab definition. They do not go away, it's been like 9 months since my last bleo and they're are clear as the day they appeared. If he gets a tan they're not as obvious

This is obviously some kind of side effect, like zbot said, from bleo..
Tomorrow starts 3rd cycle and we will show this to his onc.
