HMMM very itchy anyone else?
 

I have a quesiton for those of you who have completed herceptin
and are now taking Femara. I have been experiencing extreme itching
on both of my breats, no redness or change of skin, everything looks normal. Saw my breast surgeon for a check up and he mentioned that
it could be Femara causing the itching. I completed herceptin in May
at that time I thought it might be the Herceptin. Now after all these months I still have the itching. I have tried different creams even
purchased Shiela's cream (which is great) but it did not help the itching.
Anyone else having this? Not itchy anywhere else.

Thanks All,
Jean

I have been having extreme itching on my hands only. I've been blaming the herceptin which I've been on since December. My onc says it can't be that but I'm sure it is. So itchy sometimes that my skin cracks and the skin peels off. I should be finished with the herceptin in December and hopefully it will stop.
Good luck and
Hugs

Jean, since I had the abdominal scar revision about 3 wks ago, I started getting these scattered elevated red dots like. It is not always itchy but can be at times. It radiates out from the scar, above and below by about 2 inches. I mentioned it to my plastic surgeon and he suggested getting an anti-fuungal powder, like the foot powder kind, and to try using that on the "rash", but to stay away for the incision itself. So I have been applying it on with my finger and it seems to be helping and the red spots are disappearing.
