Hi, 

I wondered if anyone had experienced an allergic reaction to chemo in the form of a rash and if so what it was like and what you were given to get rid of it.

4 months into my treatment I've got a terrible red hot and extremely itchy rash on my neck and face.

Any help or advice would be great please .

Thanks.

  • Hi Lolly,

    Depending on your treatment, it might be an expected side effect, or a sign of a bad reaction.

    I'd suggest a quick call to your oncologist to report the symptoms and see what they say.

    Cheers,

    Andy
