Hi Jody, are you on Taxol? I am Her2 positive as well and just completed #10 of 12 today. I have been having that rash as well, but for me it almost looks like acne on my face. They gave me some steroid lotion that I use as a spot treatment and also some Clindamycin. It doesn’t prevent it from happening but it does make them dry up quicker. I also get them on my chest and back a little. It was really bad at first but has calmed down for the most part but they still pop up, especially on my chin. I moisturizer numerous times a day with CeraVe and that seems to help too.
Hope it eases up for all of you soon! Hugs!
