I have acute leukimia and broke out in a rash . is this serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your MD: There are many reasons for a rash. Most commonly it is an adverse reaction to a medication. It can be a side effect of some chemotherapy drugs. Rarely it can be from the leukemia. Check in with your physician about this because it may require a specific treatment or change in medications.
