Rash after chemo

rash
I got a rash on my back too ... right after starting taxol. I also had a very red, burning, itching rash on the tops of both hands. My Onc. sent me to a dermatologist who gave me some cream/salve that cleared it all up in no time. I also had a slight rash on my bald head and she prescribed some sort of foamy stuff in a can to rub on there a couple of times a day. Everything worked and never got the rashes back.
Good luck.
hugs.

Thanks for the feedback! I will check with my oncologist to make sure it is related to the chemo - just wanted to know if I was alone in this. Thanks so much!0 -
