Re: Tykerb rash
Hi Barb,
I was on Tykerb for about 12 weeks and had a rash on my face at some point (week 2?3?). Mine felt and appeared like patches of sunburn. I tried several creams and lotions and the one that really worked for me was one that had been recommended on this board somewhere - it was actually an oil-type moisturizer made by a company named Suki. Their products are all natural and organic and can be found at Whole Foods, where I got mine.
I liked the oil so much that now I use a Suki product on my skin every night.
Good luck!
Marcia (bejuce)
