Interesting. I had 2 chemos for 12 weeks once a week. Carboplatin/Taxol. I got an odd set of bumps on my arms and upper body as i recall. I was told it was a chemo rash. It did go away after a week or so. Did you ask the medical team what you might use to treat it?

REPLY

The medical team said to use an acne cream but that it probably wouldn’t work. I did some research online and it said a topical antibiotic is usually used, so I am going to the dermatologist next week.

I finished the chemo treatment last October, still have the bumps on my face, don't really do anything about it but it hasn't gone away yet.
