Rash on Face

enjoylife

I just finished 2 weeks ago my chemo and now I have this awful rash under my eyes and around my cheeks does anyone have any information about this I have always had oily skin so I am not use to it and I am also having a hard time getting rid of the swelling on my body any suggestions HELP ....I know it doesnt sound serious but after all the chemo's and side effects its been 2 weeks since I stopped and I have never had this happen it even makes my eyes water and swell so this is the reward for getting through chemo...YUCK

Gosh, wish I could give you some advice.  My face stayed bright red on my cheeks the whole time of chemo but no rash.  You aren't doing anything different, soap or lotion? Does it itch?  Can you call and talk to the dr's nurse and get her opinion?  Let us know how it turns out.

thanks spar2 I did call the doctors office they suggested steriods I refused they keep me awake and hipper and they actually make my face red I am not doing anything different but this last chemo has been the worst so I took some benedrl and he is calling in steriod creme for my face and we will see. That was my last chemo and I am so glad now its off to radiation on the 23rd of Sept. Thanks again for emailing me it helps to know people care.......

I hope that cream works for your face, they have a benadryl cream also if that don't work.  So Sept 23 you start rads?Best of luck with that.  hugs.
