My husband has had 5 Erbitux infusions and 12 IMRT Radiation treatments. The worst of the rash/acne was after the first 2-3 infusions and has calmed down now. The Dr gave him a gel to help dry the acne and that helped a lot. He now has dry skin that we use a moisturizer for. His appetite has gone down and we are using the Gtube for supplemental feelings.
