Tamoxifen and Rash

Has anyone experienced a skin rash while on Tamoxifen? I have only been on it for two months and yesterday broke out in a rash primarily on my legs...not blistered, but reminds me a bit of small, small poison ivy rash. Haven't done anything differently with my food, clothing, laundry soap, etc. Just curious if anyone else out there has had a similar experience.

Hi troyrans,
I have been on tamoxifen for 15 months. This past February I too got a strange rash and it was very ichy. I went to the doc and and he looked at it and said right away...oh my...you have shingles. I had just finished treatment on Dec 30, so I guess it was my bodies way of fighting. I am not saying you have the shingles, but just something to consider.
let us know how you make out.

Kris, thanks for the reply. Boy, I would never have thought shingles, but will definitely keep it in mind when I visit my doc this week. I feel fine otherwise, of course other than the normal holiday run-down! I'll let you know what I'm told. Thanks again...
