Anyone notice a face rash with Taxol? I have had 3 treatments so far and just noticed a rash on my cheeks, nose and chin this morning. Is this from taxol?

Skin changes during chemotherapy treatment are fairly common, and many patients do report developing rashes while receiving Taxol. This is definitely something worth discussing with your medical team, as they can properly evaluate the rash and determine the best way to help manage any skin reactions you might be experiencing during treatment.

Yes, they call this “chemo rash”. I used a cool damp cloth on my face whenever I had the chance. That seemed to help calm it down and help it to go away faster. I hope you find relief soon.

I used Aveeno Calm and Restore the day before my treatments and the day after and it helped a lot

Sort of like chapped skin. Yes, I had this for awhile. A moisturizer helps.
