Hi Lisa,
How are you feeling?? I hope WBR didn't tucker you out to much. I have been on taxol/avastin for one year. I started breaking out in different areas. Doctor gave me CLINDAMYCIN PHOSPHATE SOL 1%. It's liquid and you just dob it on. Mine finally cleared. Mine kinda looked like little pimples but acne cream wouldn't help...this cleared it up for me.
Best of luck to you...take care
Warmly,
judiek
