I'm so glad to see this article! Thank you for providing the link. I have had terrible acne breakouts after each of my chemo infusions, which included Herceptin. I had never heard of this and didn't know why I had it. Although Herceptin isn't on the list, Tykerb is. I hope it means I'm responding well to Herceptin! I have just finished chemo and am continuing with Herceptin. I had an infusion Wednesday so we'll see if I get the rash again. I'm glad to see it can be treated. It's a bummer to have terrible acne, no hair and menopause at the same time!
