Hello Verna,
I too have lovely whiteheads ( we used to call them when I was a teenager) and very dry skin (peeling) with a sore red rash. I've only been on Tykerb for 11 days and have started to apply a gel called Radiance gel that's a herbal preparation for use with radiotherapy treatment. It contains aloe vera, honey and Royal jelly as well as a blend of essential oils. This relieves the symptoms. Only time will tell really. It's available from
www.pennybrohncancercare.org
formerly the Bristol Cancer care centre.
Good luck
Adrien
