Joined: Dec 2013 Posts: 26 | Thanks Mamacita, I'm chipping away one swing at a time! Just finished my second week and my rash is finally letting me think straight. My face has literally been on fire to the point where I had to put my face in front of the AC to get any relief. 5 days of that and I think finally the Keflex has started to kicked in. The topical steroids only seemed to make my face worse--Desonide and Lidex. Seems like everyone who talks about their rash from Cetuximab has only spoke of the cosmetic aspect but my rash has all been about the pain. Has anyone else had the burning pain on the face as well? What did you do? thanks for listneing
