Rash on my hands too

I'm only on Herceptin and I get a bumpy rash that comes and only partly goes. It's an unusual thing in that it usually presents on my right index finger. It can be itchy. Sometimes it also appears on the inside of my right arm and sometimes on the top of my arm.

I have written it off to my perpetual allergies, one doctor thought perhaps the Herceptin was sensitizing my immune system. Benadryl does help but I hate taking Benadryl so I usually don't. I also have to use more cream on my hands because they tend to be drier than before. Olive oil is good since it's something I'm not allergic to. Also at times I use a cortisone cream.
