Burning, itchy rash on my neck!

Has anyone experienced this? Came up out of nowhere after day 4-5?? Warm bath and cream only seem to help for an hour at a time?

  • Hi!! Yes i am having Doxataxel and  Carboplatin.  Was so awful it had me in tears last night... have just taken as suggested by the chemotherapy clinic Claryntine once a day. It is already subsiding.. (-;

    Thanks girls xx

  • Yes Lani I had something similar. I got a lumpy, red, itchy rash on my scalp, chest, arms, sometimes abdonmen and thighs. It was at its worst around days 4-5 after each chemo treatment but gradually subsided each time.  I found being in bed, where I was warm, made it worse too. I just tried to cool myself down when it was bothering me. Didn't really use any creams or anything. Hopefully it will settle down for you soon. Good luck, Janet.
