Letrozole and dermatitis?

Hi all - I have been on letrozole for about 10 weeks now, following a lumpectomy and radiation for hormone positive ILC. Over the last couple of weeks I have developed a terribly itchy red rash over my legs and arms.  My GP is investigating the cause, but I wondered if anyone else had experienced this as a possible side-effect of letrozole?  I have seen other posts about rashes being a side effect of other AIs but not so much letrozole?  thanks!

    Thanks so much - it is awful and the itch is driving me mad!  I do have some new cortisone cream today though which is helping.  Thanks again for jumping in to sympathise!

    Hello
    I don’t have experience with this but wanted to comment so you know some one is reading.

    dermatitis is awful at the best of times. I hope you get some relief soon.
