No real solution to rash yet.

Tamara, seems like your rash is somewhat different from mine. This has been a constant for several months. I finally was referred by the medical oncologist to a dermatologist after the radiation oncologist had suggested hydrocortizone and moisturizer. Dermatologist ordered what turned out to be a steroid cream (which raises my blood sugar - diabetes, too). The rash on my elbow and abdomen have improved considerably, but the ankle rash drives me nuts from itching. Surviving though!! Best to you. Jane
