hi larry, i developed a bit of a skin rash on my arms from my shoulders to just past my elbows after being on gleevec for about 6 months, which now comes and goes intermittently. the rash looks like a bunch of little bumps, each one centered on a hair follicle. i've pointed it out to my oncs, but they are unworried, suggesting that that a mild steroid cream would probably take care of the problem if i was concerned for cosmetic reasons. i've also noted that sun exposure helps to clear them up. best, daniel
