Have you experienced itchy rashes after chemotherapy?

Are you taking a daily allergy pill ? Over the counter ones work

Deanna, I had rashes all over with chemo… Carbo taxol, Adriamycin Cytoxan, and Xeloda… I was instructed to keep hydrated and lubricate skin with Cetaphil as this is paraban free cream. Dermatologist gave script for cortisone cream but Oncologist preferred avoiding the cortisone. Severely low WBC.

Did the rash go away after you completed chemo ?

Rash is going away, started taking Claritin and using lots of lotion . Thank you

My rashes subsided on chemo break but it did take a while… my autoimmune Sjogren’s doesn’t help

Claritin and creams did not help me… time did. Chemo necessary and I accept rashes that are temporary.
