Hi, Wendy in CA here!! I was just wondering if anyone else has had pimples break out after starting chemo. If so, any suggestions on how to make them hurt less? Hope everyone is having a great day!!

    hey wendy,
    I did the big no-no and popped them. 2 monsters on my chin. they both had little ingrown hairs in them and healed up nicely even though my counts were horrile at the
    time.

    like every thing else it is side effects they never tell you about unless you specifically ask and then they answer only when it happens to you.

    it is pulling teeth to get a straight answer out of anyone.
