Common Questions and Answers about Erlotinib and skin reaction

tarceva

Avatar n tn The fluid being present elsewhere is likely part of wasting or muscle mass, and there is leaking of fluid under the skin. The presence of the fluid may make the skin more vulnerable to damage, as healing under these conditions wouldn’t be easy. It may be a good idea to keep an eye out for skin damage. If she is lying on her back all the time, there may be considerable damage there already.
Avatar f tn About three weeks ago, I went to the doctor due to a burning sensation when urinating, increased yellow vaginal discharge and a fever. After a urinalysis and pelvic examination she diagnosed me with Trich. She gave me Bactrim and some Klion100 vaginal tablets. Soon after that, I noticed single water blisters on my wrist and foot. After about 2 weeks, and scabbing they fell off leaving a slightly lighter colour on my skin in the place where the blister used to be.
Avatar n tn well i i have a skin rash but when i apply mediven, my skin gets ok. if i stop applying it, my skin relapses. what could be it?
Avatar f tn Could this be an allergic reaction? If so, I have been tested for allergens exgtensively and all tests were negative.
Avatar m tn after our posts I considered my self low, actually very, very low risk. I got tested and the clinic called and said my sample was cancelled on account of peeing too much into the cup (their words, not mine). are the tests that sensitive? the difference was 20g to 40g. that seems like a clandestine way to get a follow up test. i'll go get tested again, but i'm surprised the tests are that temperamental? your thoughts? again, the facts of the encounter are explained above.
Avatar f tn t know the details, but it is past the operating stage. My parents live in Jordan and they have just returned from a trip to Israel to see a doctor. Now my father is going to get treatment of I think Chemo pills in Jordan. I am very skeptical, and correct me if I am wrong, but (financial obstacles aside) would it not improve all chances considerably if my Father were to go to somewhere more advanced like Mayo Clinic or any of the top rated Clinics around the world to get treated there?

Avatar m tn There are certain other non-pharmacological measures which are equally important in treating atopic dermatitis.
Avatar n tn Cold urticaria is a disorder characterized by the rapid onset of itchiness, redness and swelling of the skin within minutes after exposure to a cold stimulus. Diagnosis can be made by an ice-cube test. Place an ice cube on your forearm for 4 minutes and observe the area for 10 minutes afterwards. If you have cold urticaria, the area will become itchy and then swell approximately 2 minutes after removing the ice cube.
Avatar m tn but my friend denise had bad reactions every time big red welts.. everyone is so different with this, the hep itself and the reaction to the meds..
Avatar m tn This time I noticed again after 30 minutes the sensation were strong and the itch burning. I have stopped taking cipro for 2 days now and the skin has stopped itching but is still blotchy and flaking (not quite peeling). I've never had anything like this before and I can surely attribute it to the drug. I don't think I've ever had a reaction to it before but I do recall taking it once before, for a urinary tract infection.
Avatar f tn Swelling and burning may be caused by neurological issues, infection, inflammation, possible allergic reaction and even hypersensitivity reaction. Antihistamine medication usually help provide relief in allergic reactions.However, if the symptoms persist, it is best that you have her see a doctor for proper evaluation. Direct clinical examination is important. Take care and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn I wonder if washing with Sweet and low will help. I also have gotten skin rash where the color runs down the skin in the shower. Skin itches and breaks out in rash.

Also i may have to face some boys for marriage. i hope u may understand pls if u wish i can tell u what all things the doctor prescribed me. if u can pls do help.
8830199 tn?1400097262 In general a skin disorder (rash comes to mind) may indicate a reaction and my be serious. If you started a new medication I'd discuss the "redness" with the doctor - if over the counter, the Pharmacist may be able to help and advise.
Avatar f tn CA125 only responded marginally (from 180 to 130) and chemo had to be stopped after 3 cycl. due to extreme liver enzyme rise and haematological problems. Topotecan/docetaxel weekly reduced CA125 level within 6 weeks to 40, but it increased thereafter and treatment was stopped because of alveolitis and CA125 had reached 70 again. Next chemo was taxol weekly with avastin biweekly, which led to a fast drop of CA125 (after 3 weeks down to 20!).
107366 tn?1305680375 Have any of you who are on Doxil (or have had it in the past) experienced skin redness all over your body like a sunburn? It doesn't hurt or sting, but I'm definitely red. I have been avoiding all the things I am supposed to avoid...no hot showers, no tight clothing, etc. I'm not especially worried about this, but just curious to know if it has happened to anyone else.
Avatar n tn In this a little amount of allergen is injected into the skin of the forearm by a doctor. The skin is closely watched for signs of a reaction, which include swelling and redness. Confirmatory diagnosis is by blood tests (RAST). So if you are found allergic to prawns,you may show allergic reaction to all crustaceans like crabs,crayfish,lobster and shrimps.Hence their avoidance will be the best treatment. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted if you have any additional doubts.
Avatar m tn I had a facial from a salon using Dermalogica products on Friday. I use Dermalogica daily with no side effects which is why I chose that salon. After the facial I was quite pink, then woke up the next day with redness and swelling. I started putting an aloe vera gel on which was quite soothing and did this for a few hours.
Avatar n tn This test involves pricking, scratching or injecting food extracts into the patient’s skin. The skin will react with redness and swelling for those extracts capable of eliciting an allergic reaction when consumed.Other tests used are blood tests like RAST and food challenge tests. Treatment is complete exclusion of the products containing the ingredient from your diet and antihistaminics and steroids.So pls consult an allergy specialist and get your allergy tests done. Hope it helps.
Avatar n tn when I apply any type of lotion, my skin itches extremely bad and my whole body is red, burning and sometimes get whelps all over. Ihave tried a process of elimination with body washes and lotions? It goes away in about 30 minutes but is miserable!
Avatar m tn I would keep a Food Diary and note what types of foods are causing a reaction. For example are you Gluten Intolerant?
Avatar n tn It is possible and allergy to a cream , shower gel you are using , material next to your skin, any new meds recently ?
Avatar n tn There is no itching just like red bumps and like circles that seemed to have like dead skin around them idk. but im scared its herpes r genital warts even though ive never had intercurse..? pls get back to me with suggestions or advice. Ive put calamine lotion on the my whole penos for the time being. I'm scared it might be a reaction to this hair remover ive been using called nair hair removal/waxing. I'm rly scared...
Avatar n tn I did this for three days, and afterward my skin was red and burning, and the skin has thinned and the skin is strange looking. I stopped as soon as I noticed something was wrong. It's still really damaged (March 10th). Mostly discolored, thin, and lots of veins sticking out on both hands. My face is starting to heal, but basically did the same thing as my hands. Thinning of the skin mostly.
