I started taking tamoxifen about 10 days ago and the past couple of days I have experienced really intense itching round the vulva area, could this be a side effect of tamoxifen? Has anyone else experienced this and if so what do you recommend to relieve this. Other than this I do not appear to be suffering any other SE from tam (touch wood).
Hi hdsurvivor
While you are waiting for other members to reply to your question, I’ve attached our factsheet on Tamoxifen which lists some of the common side effects (including itching vagina):

I hope this helps
