My husband has been given Pliazon to try for skin problems and I wonder if any one had used it? His face started bleeding from his pores this morning, like acne? Thank you
Hi JoeyB I was given pliazon, didn't think much of it to be honest it didn't seem to do much. When my skin got bad I was also given Dermol 500 which I preferred, it can be used as a face wash as well as a moisturiser. Is the skin problems down to cetuximab?
Thank you for responding. Yes I believe it is Cetuximab as the oncologist warned of acne being a side effect. It is just more painful than expected. Also very sore mouth ulcer.
Yes, it can get painful, rashes, acne, etc. Has he been given antibiotics? I took antibiotics for the duration of the treatment and could increase the dose when I had flare ups. Also, they gave me hydrocortisone cream, to use sparingly.
I used Difflam for the mouth ulcers, it's slightly numbing so makes eating a bit more comfortable.
Make sure he mentions all the side effects to his team, they have all sorts of goodies that can help!
Cetuximab is a tough one but I had great results, hopefully your husband will too.x
Hi. They gave him so much but he doesn't remember what everything is for! We have Ciprofloxacin but think this is for serious infections. So I think it must be the Doxycycline he needs to take. Thank you for the tip of Difflam! Very much appreciated.
