Has anyone had a face rash since starting tamox? I have been on it for 3.5 months now and a month ago i noticed a rash start on my neck and move to my forehead - it's nowmoving to my cheeks and chin. It isnt itchy or burning or anything, just ugly and i'm very self conscious about it. Red bumps is really all it is. Thoughts???

    Hi there,

    I developed hives on my neck and torso after 2 weeks on tamoxifen. My MO had me stop for a month and restart. So far there has been no recurrence. Talk to your MO to ensure that you aren't having a reaction to the filler in the tablet.

    Yes I was being treated for Rosacea but I have stopped the pills because I had a reaction to them. I don't know if Tamoxifen is to blame, I have been on it for a year now and my rash started about 6 months or so ago, so maybe it does have something to do with it?
