Hi everyone. This is a bit of a minor issue but has anyone and problems with a facial rash following chemo?
Finished carbo/gem about 6 weeks ago and I have this rash mainly forehead and nose. It forms little white dry spots which then leave behind a red spotty mess. I have tried flucloxacillin and eczema cream. ….and face creams. Nothing is working.
Has anyone had similar?

Yes I have had the same on side of my nose, and like you tried lots of different things., flooding carbo/gem. My husband had some mens niven, so I thought I will try this, it is non greasy and it has worked and I have only been using it for just over a week, and my skin overall is much better thankgoodness. Normally I use liz earle and etstee lauder makeup. I am still using estee lauder on top of niven I also use the nivea at night . I hope you get this sorted as it is horrible.
Not a response to carbo/gem but I had a persistent and itchy rash fro Paclitaxel across my face and upper body. I found that my usual face products made it worse. I relieved the body itching with Aveeno oat cream which is used for eczema and found that Marķs and Spencer Pure face creams did not irritate. They are vegan and natural.
hi there Helvelyn I had the same thing and the consultant gave me some antibiotic. Cream it worked amazingly and cleaned up in a very short time .
