   Erbitux rash (Cancer: Colon & Rectal board)

12th October 2006
This one is killing me. I have an oral antibiotic (500 mg Cephalexin) and a topical antibiotic (Clindamycin). I have creams like Sarna and face cleaners like cepaphil. I have been on this for 2 weeks and my face is almost raw. Blisters on my back, neck, chest, small pimples everywhere. If I just squeeze my skin, it bleeds. I can sleep at night with Atavan but this rash hurts. I take Tylenol to help dull the burning sensation. I try wet towels and it still hurts.At Stanford they said that it gets bad the first two weeks but then will drop off a little. They graded me at a 3 or 4 rash.

I know, the data shows that the more reactive you are the better the drug potentially can work on the cancer. But everyday is hard. Any ideas?
