Hello

I wondered if anyone had developed a rash 2 weeks after infusion of the above drugs?

It's on my chest and forearms, its raised and merging and indents if I get clothing creases on it.

    Hi Charlieandlola 

    I had docetaxel herceptin and pertuzumab after the second dose of these I didn’t get a rash but I got spots on my thighs . stomach and bottom. There was 25 on my bottom really sore had to get antibiotics and antibiotic cream which helped. Don’t know if that helps I would phone the chemo unit to ask for advice

    I had paclitaxel, herceptin and perjeta. I had an itchy rash (like nettle rash) on my forearms all that time. I used hydrocortisone cream and took antihistamine tablets. Both on direction from my oncologist. It helped, but I spent a lot of time scratching. The rash went away after I finished herceptin & perjeta. I think paclitaxel and doxitaxel are from the same family of drugs.
