Hi, I've done 6 different regimes of chemo and immunotherapy and have had rashes each time. Chemo always stops them. Also, talk to the doctor--I used 2 prescriptions--one was periactin and I forget the other. Cortisone creams sometime help and Gold Bond over the counter gives some relief. Definitely work with a dr. I had it completely covering my body one time from feet to neck. Of course, like they always say--don't scratch--but who can do that. I do have scars on the front of my legs from the numerous times of occurance. Hope this helps--Pumkin
