    Default Erbitux-itching and rash any advice?

    Hi. I'm taking Erbitux, 5FU and Avastin for cancer. My face and scalp have broken out in a terrible acne rash that feels like each hair follicle or pore is trying to excrete a grain of molten sand. It is driving me crazy.

    I've tried bathing my face in a sea salt solution which helped dry out the sores then used udder cream, lanacaine and aloe vera gel (separately) but nothing helps for very long.

    Any hints?

    aveeno baths, sarna lotion (some pharamcies stock it)
    they are also going to just be temporary.....

    check with the oncologist he might have some ideas due to experience.
