Joy:
I had the rash on my right upper arm area, and hydrocortizone cream healed it pretty well, you can still see it, though it is healing, but I covered it up with powder foundation in order to wear tank tops and it disguises it so it is invisible.
I had some pimple like eruptions on my face, but there again, I healed it up with hydrocortizone cream and foundation covered it up nicely.
So it is a nuisance, but not so bad that you can't hide it, and noone but you even notices it.
From what my oncologist said, it should disappear within 4-6 weeks, but it is already dissipating and almost gone.
The rash is a GOOD thing though, as it corresponds with those who were the best responders to Tykerb. I'll willingly put up with a short term rash if it means that the Tykerb will work for me.
