What Causes Skin Rashes While On Opdivo?

I am on Opdivo for mastisised renal cell carcinome. I have been for almost 2 years. The only side effects I seem to have is a skin rash that resembles insect bites and fatigue. My tumor had been gone for about 16 months. How long does does Opdivo seem to work?

Hello,

Opdivo is a brand name of Nivolumab. It won’t cause skin rashes as side effects and the rashes may be due to something else. Opdivo is a good drug and it will act fast and peak effect will be obtained in couple of weeks.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
