Tykerb Cares Program

Esther, what type of rashes are you having and is this a side effect of Tykerb? I'm going to start on it soon and would like to know what to expect so I don't freak. Are they itchy and where on your body..sherryg683

Actually that was the one useful piece of information I got from the Tykerb Cares nurse. She said the rash was the most frequently mentioned side effect since Tykerb was released in mid March.

The rash typically appears on the arms or sometimes the face, is red, and has little pimple or blister like eruptions. It itches at first.

That sounds lovely, I will probably end up with a rash that looks like another out break of the shingles that I am suffering so much with now and confuse my poor doctors even more. .lol..sherry
