Yes, rashes and skin reactions are common side effects of various breast cancer treatments. Many MyBCTeam members have reported experiencing rashes on their arms, hands, feet, and other parts of their body during treatment.

These skin reactions can occur from several breast cancer treatments:
• Chemotherapy drugs
• Radiation therapy
• Hormone therapy
• Targeted therapies
• Immunotherapy One MyBCTeam member shared their experience with chemo rash on their hands, arms, feet and face, noting that steroid cream helped somewhat with burning and itching. Another member described developing a rash that looked like burns on both hands and feet during Taxol treatment.

If you develop a rash, it's important to tell your healthcare team right away. Some rashes could indicate an allergic reaction that needs immediate attention, especially since chemotherapy can affect your immune system and make you more susceptible to infections.
