Anybody have permanent skin damage from taking ERBITUX??

Postby rmblack » Mon Oct 24, 2016 9:31 am

I took my last Erbitux treatment back in July. I had severe rash on my face and neck. My face has somewhat cleared up. When I wear makeup you can't see any trace of it. My neck hasn't cleared up as much. It's like I have permanent spots all over my neck that won't go away. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this and if so, did you use anything to help with it? I was on antibiotics while I was taking the erbitux. I"m not sure if it helped or not because my rash was so severe.
