Hi
I’ve just had my 3rd Chemo and I’ve had a bad reaction to the drugs I’ve got red blotches from my neck to my toes. Does anyone have any ideas what I could use to calm the rash?
I’ve been given steroid cream it helps for an hour or two then the itch started again
thanks
Hi, that sounds really frustrating. Have you tried calamine lotion? Best wishes, and hope it eases soon
