Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I tried many things for the rash as I had it quite heavily. I found that caladry or calamine helped a bit. I also tried Aveeno, gold bond cream, lamosil, powder and a few others. Nothing really helped. The rash on my back and chest did not usually itch though. I ended up shaving my hair to about an inch because my scalp kept getting infected. The nurse who headed the research dept. at the cancer center said she had heard of people dabbing the spots with head and shoulders. I did not try that one. It has been 6 weeks since I stopped erbitux and you can still see the spots although they have faded some. Erbitux did clear up the mets in my liver while I was on it. Now that I am off it I have the beginnings of one spot in my liver again. Good Luck. Both Mike and Phil are in my prayers. Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
