Darita,
I noticed a skin rash immediately after my first infusion of herceptin, in August. It was on my face (mild) and my chest (less mild). I used over-the-counter cortisone on my face and it helped. The rash on my chest got worse when I started radiation and stayed for all of the five weeks. None of the creams helped, not even biafine, the cream used by my center. One of the radiation nurses told me that herceptin tends to make the reaction to radiation worse. Anyway, the rash on chest went away after completion of radiation, particularly after I used silver sulvadene, which is great for burns. If the rash is from herceptin, it may go away when your body adjusts. I hope so and that you're feeling much better soon.
