I ha very recently finished a course of capecitabine and currently waiting to start a infusion next week.
I have suddenly developed a bumpy itchy rash which is much worse at night.
Trying not to scratch it is a nightmare.
Has any one else had this and have you found anything to alleviate it.

Hi Jenny
I can't help with what to use for your rash, but you should have been given a contact number for the nurses at your chemo unit. If you give them a call, they should be able to recommend something and maybe even give you a prescription.
I hope you can get sorted soon.

The oncology nurse told me to try Puriton.
My GP also prescribed the ointment.
Thank you for your reply.
Jenny
I hope that does the trick
