I've had 2 doses of A/C. I noticed about 11 red blotches...almost look like mosquito bites. I will go to the doctor tomorrow, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

    I never experienced red blotches like you're describing but I did get a rather large, red, itchy area on my hip (about an inch wide but narrow)about 10 days after the first treatment of A/C. My onc wasn't 100% certain but felt that it was some sort of "shingles" appearance and prescribed an anti-viral. It didn't spread at all and went away in about a week.

    Wondering if you've been exposed to children or anyone who has or could be carrying measles or chicken pox? May just be a mild reaction of some sort, particular to your system and the drugs.

    Good Luck!

    Love, light and laughter,

    Thanks , Ink and Vac for responding. Doctor thought I had shingles, but sent me to a dermatologist...just insect bites.
