I have been on Herceptin for over 4 years so I don't believe it is that causing the problems. I know that with immune disease thrush and other itches thrive, so I think when the immune system is low from the chemo it would be the same thing. I have Milton Nappy Rash cream on hand because some of the chemos cause diahorea and that brings out the hemaroids just to finish us off. We have a cream in Australia for the vaginal itch which also works around the anal area and it is call Nilstat cream and can be bought over the counter. Have you tried an anti-histamine tablet or cream, these rashes can also be brought out when stressed. I think we can all relate to these problems, and apart from the vaginal itch I think the males can relate to this as well, they just get jock itch.
Love & Hugs Lyn
