Re: Itchy rash-Herceptin?

I also used a lotion called Sarna. Expensive in my opinion (apprx 14.99 for the brand, CVS in US carries its brand a bit cheaper)
This works. I use it also for chapped armpits.

I also use a cream called Vanicream- comes in a pot with a pump. I think that Walgreens carries the lotion. Thick and rich. No parabens, lanolin, dyes, fragance. It advertises on side panel that coan be used for itchy skin, icthyosis?, breast nursing, ulcers caused by perlonged bed confinement and orthopedic appliances. This is usually carried at the bottom of the shelf.

Although I dont use because it may have a bit of AHA, many derms recomend Amlactyn, carried at Costco and also at the bottom shelves at drugstores

Good luck
