Hi all, I have had 3 rounds of Paclitaxel and I have developed redness / rash on my cheeks. It is not sore or itchy but it is hot. Had anyone had anything similar? Did you find anything that helped?  I have tried Eucerin cream the last couple of days, possibly not long enough to take effect. 

  • Hi @Squirrel Feeder I noticed that you hadn't had a response and wanted to reply to you so I can bump your post back uop to the top where someone who might have experienced something simillar might be on the site this time and see it.  I would also discuss this with your medical team as they should have experience of this and kow what if anything you can do to alleviate the symptoms.

    Hope you find something that will help.

  • Hi

    I tended to have this in the first 2 or 3 days after each round but if I remember rightly it did tend to go on its own. I did put it down to the steroids.  I would mention it to your unit next time you speak to them to make sure. 

    Take care
