Newbie here: Have been on Tykerb continuously for 6 weeks. Slight rash started around Week 2, but comes & goes - mostly a sprinkle of small whiteheads on my chin, some bumps on my chest. But the ITCHING (without rash!) is what's really getting to me - especially my scalp. I use iced gel packs, tied against the top of my head with a scarf, when it gets really bad. Have an Rx for Regenecare (aloe, lidocaine & collagen gel) that works well on chest, but is difficult to spread on scalp. Also tried a natural products salve, but it worked less well. Am going to get a colloidal oatmeal lotion (I think Aveeno makes one) to try. Scalp itching is the biggie discomfort.
