Quick question for everyone. Has anyone developed a rash on their face after chemo?  I have just had my last round of chemo and after my previous round I developed hand foot syndrome. I have just developed it again and also have a rash on my face that’s blotchy, hot and itchy. Any ideas or similar? 

  • Hi  , don’t ignore these symptoms, please ensure your team know and hopefully they will help. Sorry I haven’t had chemo for my bc or the recurrence but daughter had lots (for a blood cancer), and used to let her team know so they could treat or even prevent It might be that you need antihistamine or steroids? 

    Hopefully someone with more relevant experience will see this and be more specific for you…

  • Hi, I have had two lots of chemo and on both times I had red hot cheeks the next day, I did call my team and was told to take an antihistamine and keep an eye on it , but it calmed down. I also have a rash under my arm , again called the team and it turned out to be dry skin.
