Hello All,
I am going through a clinical trial with radiation and Erbitux only. I have had 2 infusions of Erbitux so far, but I started to get the skin rash about 5 days after the first infusion. My oncologist prescribed Doxycycline Hyclate (antibiotic) and Alclometasone (steroid gel). I take the antibiotic once a day but the steroid gel had the ever helpful "Use as necessary" on the box. I asked what what my skin care regimen should look like, but didn't get a very clear answer. I think I was a little too anxious about my first radiation treatment that I was having that day to push it.

I was wondering what kind of skin care regimen other people had success with from the Erbitux rash. Also, does the rash ever plateau or does it does it continue to get worse and then subside after treatment?

Thanks for any help/advice you can give.

Mike
