8 days in and my rash is now pretty bad on my face. Just took second dose of Cetuximab yesterday. Dr. prescribed topical Clindamycin which I applied last night and this morning. Will this drug hold the rash at bay or do you think I should also ask the Dr. for Monocycline? I asked the infusion nurse yesterday about it and she said she thought that most people get the topical gel. Maybe I need to wait a few more days to see how this Clindamycin works, but my face is still on fire.
