Hey @Newby24,
I had a severe skin reaction to taxol. Yes, it looked like red burning and itchy then it dried right out and went flaky and horrible.

Possibly some dermaid from the chemist as that has a bit of cortizone int it. You can get it in a cream or an ointment, I found the ointment more soothing, the cream tended to sting a bit,
I ended up having to stay on prednisone through the lot of it. It was on the back of my hands, forearms, elbows and knees.
