I've had a mean Vectibix rash since beginning chemo last October.
Shortly after it appeared, the dermatologist started me on twice-daily doxycycline and application of topical steroids: desoximetasone and one other slightly less strong. A few weeks ago, it's like my face exploded again and the rash is now growing in other places on my body: chest, back, butt, etc. It's almost like my body developed tolerance for the steroid cream and it no longer works - except to make dark hairs grow all over!!
Has anyone explored something further to treat the rash? In reading online last night, it seems like retinols are sometimes used and I even saw several references to Accutane (which has a whole slew of side effects of its own). Just wondering if those are still being used and if anyone has had success with them?
