Since my auto graft, I have had skin problems – not as bad as those you describe – but an annoying itch usually starting around the feet and moving around the body in stages. I take an anti-histamine for it which is prescribed.
When I first got home from the hospital, I was very itchy and after showering, my skin would go blotchy red/blue!
To be honest, the doctors haven't seemed that worried about it although they have admitted it is probably a side effect of the SCT.
I hope this helps.
Has John tried anti-histamines?
