Hi I have linked in a leaflet from Macmillan on skin management during treatment . It is only so helpful when it comes to Cetuximab . Your mum may speak to her oncologist to get a referral to a dermatologist. They should be able to assist and some people have benefited from their intervention. I think they use a specific antibiotic. 

My mum had a spread to her liver but Cetuximab was not funded back then but the research looks good !

How is your mum managing with the treatment?

Our helpline staff might have more information.

Hope your doing ok also !

take care ,

Hi Sharon   the rash is horrible isn't it, I do feel for your mum.  I had quite a few cycles of cetuximab and had very sore skin.  Does your mum take antibiotics,  I was given doxycycline to take once a day and up it to two with an outbreak.  I used to wash with Dermol 500 then apply Pliazon, both I got on prescription from the my oncologist. 

Thank you at Star74.
