Acne Breakouts on Xeloda/Tykerb?
 

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for bad acne caused by Xeloda and Tykerb combination? My onc says not to use salicylic acid products like Clearasil, because, in the case of this chemo-induced acne, it can make it worse. She gave me doxycycline, but it didn't seem to do anything.

I know it's a trivial thing compared to other side effects, but it is really depressing me. I never had acne as a teenager, and every morning there are more and more whitehead pimples around my nose and mouth. Anybody found anything effective for this?

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

Cheers,

Katherine
