Very severe rash, dryness and itching, covering entire body.patient is taking Tracleer, Ravatio and Ventavis for treatment of Pulmnanary Arterial Hypertension. Also was taking Revlimid for treatment of Multiple Myeloma. Revlimid was halted 5 weeks ago, but rash is still raging. Could Tracleer be the cause and not the Revlimid?
Rash caused by either Tracleer, Ravatio, Revlimid or Ventavis?

Have ruled out all drugs but the Revlimid. Has anyone else who has been on Revlimid ever had this rash condition? It has been 2 months sinse the halt of the Revlimid and patient's body is still itching and breaks out.

Quite possibly. Itching and skin rashes are reported side effects of Tracleer.
You should see a skin specialist if the itching persists.
