Hi is anyone here expreriencing itchy skin rashes when started taking tamoxifen? I am having a skin rashes in my bosy and left arms and its very itchy. :(
Hi Kimmylove
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you had breast cancer. While I don't have experience of taking Tamoxifen I thought I'd reply to you as you haven't had any replies yet. I suggest that you try E45 cream and see if that helps.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes

Hello Kimmylove, I started on Tamoxifen last June, and between hot flushes and itchy skin and fatigue I know how your feeling. I got daktacort cream for rashes off the Dr and thank god it really worked. And I try to drink a nice cold glass of water when it comes on me and it seems to help . Sorry to hear you've had breast cancer too. Best of luck.
