Rash

I've been fighting a rash for months now too. I was so afraid that I may have a recurrence too as it was mainly on my bad breast but in other places too. I went to my Onc Dr and got cremes and nothing seemed to help much. No one thought it was anything to worry about but me...

I finally got my Onc Dr to let me have a breast MRI and all is clear. Went to a dermatologist and he says it's a hives type rash. I'm taking OTC Loratadine (Claritin) and it's really helped as the itching was sooo bad. I'm going back to the dermatologist in a few weeks for a follow-up.
