I have developed a rash with red bumps too. It started under my underarms in my armpits. It's really gotten itchy and is worst in my radiation area on my left side and breast. I also have a few other spots that have red bumps and itch. It started just before my last Herceptin on April 27. I'm on Tamoxifen too since Nov. 2008. Not sure what is happening. I showed two of my doctors and then said it wasn't shingles but not sure what it was. They suggested I use some cortisone cream but that only helps temporarily. Any ideas?
