Rash/blisters

vivirasselena

I'm 13 intp 28 and i've got a rash across my chest that itches and looks like the measles.  I pulled off one of the tape markers and it has a blister.  Anyone else have this?  Will they continue radiation or wait till it heals up?

Thanks all

Michele...Maybe you are allergic to the tape

I got a rash last week under my breast and my RO took a look at it and said it was a heat rash from moisture/skin-on-skin contact.  She told me to dust lightly with corn starch.  Thank goodness, mine calmed down.  Good luck with yours!

Vivi, I'm 20/32 and have that same rashon my chest.  Use Hydrocortisone cream from the drug store on it and if that doesn't help tell your RO.  Mine had to give me a prescription for something stronger.  It helps a bit more than the hydro but not completely.  Rather than a rash I was told it's the hair follicles that are having trouble with the rads.

I'm allaergic to surgical tape so they use a paper tape on me.  Ask the techs what tape they can use that won't bother your skin.
