The breakouts on my face is making my skin sag, I am 40 and look double my age. Anyone experience the same?

    Yes
    My hubby who is also 40 years old had the same thing. He has aged alot since he was dx in Nov 2009 but I think it has to do with the whole experience (chemo, family, depression, etcc...) rather than just Erbitux. Hang in there.

    How old is your son?

    Yes I have Melissa
    The trick is to cleanse face to keep bacteria of. I us the Avenno face wash it has drying action for achne, but also moisturizes. At night I cleanse and put on my clindamycin. and in the day I cleanse and then moisturize, moisturize. If you make it to dry then its worse. But when you stop the Erbitux it will improve. And drink alot of water. Remember your cells are dying of all over your body and organs and they need water and nutrients to replenish.... good luck....blessings from Lourdes.
