I`m on the tx with incivex. I just noticed a couple of days ago a couple of spots on my arm. They are round in size and smaller than a pea. They are red in color with a little white in the center and very itchy. Does this sound familar to anyone?

I just started my 12th. week of treatment. I`m very thankful for all the advice that I have recieved here.

Yes it sounds familiar. Watch them close and call your doc if you think it could be Steven Johnsons syndrome. Google it so you know what that rash looks like or if the rash starts spreading all over quickly.

Lots of things to use for itchy. Benadryl is probably the first thing. I use the Children's liquid kind so I can control the dosage. Then some of the others have said Sama or Soma? works great for the itch. I used lots of lotion and the benadryl for mine and it worked good for me.
You're doc can prescribe some stronger hydrocortisone for you too if neither of those work .
