I was in Houston visiting my father this weekend, I noticed he had the rash on the back of his neck. When I asked about it, he said his neck and his head itched a lot. His first dose of Erbitux was last Monday. He has another tomorrow.

I know everyone reacts differently but was wondering if there were some for sures - will the rash continue to get worse as treatment continues on; will it also develop on his face? Can he be assured the rash will hang with him until he finishes the Erbitux?

He put cortisone cream on the back of his neck and took some bendryl which helped his itchy head. Wished all boo boos could be helped so easily.
