If you have an EGFR mutation which some people on your medication have then there is an EGFR Facebook page which is a private group with lots of people in .

It might be worth joining it and posting on there. I am sure you will get a response. I have heard people mention a rash before.

I am in the ALK Positive Facebook Group and find it really supportive .

Wishing you a good response to your treatment x

Hi ,There is some research evidence that an anti- inflammatory cream is effective. You might want to discuss this with your GP.
