Can skin GVHD happen 70 days after transplant?

Yes, cutaneous (skin) GVHD can absolutely occur at day 70 post-transplant. Acute GVHD typically develops within the first 100 days after transplant, with the average onset around 25 days. However, it can appear anytime between 10 and 90 days, and sometimes even later.

At 70 days post-transplant, you're still within the typical window for acute GVHD. The skin is actually the most common place where GVHD symptoms first appear.

Watch for these signs:
* Rash that may look like a sunburn
* Itchy, dry, or sensitive skin
* Flat or slightly raised patches
* Red areas or discoloration

If you notice any new skin changes, it's important to contact your healthcare team right away. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications.
