Been on ce now for aweek and have spots all over my face they hurt and just dont look very nice anyone had this ?
Just saw this…I had the same but strangely enough only with my first chemo. They were like acne spots…horrible! One consultant told me it had nothing to do with the chemo…another told me it was down to the steroids…so I cut down the amount of steroids I had and never had them with the other 5 lots of chemo.
I remember them being very painful too !!!
Me too, look like a teenager with spots all over my face, plus red and blotchy, coincidence??
I had my first fec 9 days ago. Took dex 4mg for three days after first FEC, spots started about day 5.
Hey billiegirl
I had really bad skin for a few weeks after my first FEC. It looked like the spots I managed to avoid as a teenager had caught up with me!
My forehead & back were the worst & I was panicking in case it was something I was gonna suffer from for the duration…but thankfully they dissapeared pretty quickly!
I found Pure Aloe Vera Gel from Holland & Barratt great for relieving the blotchiness & it cleared it all up for me.
It was also particularly soothing on my skin after rads had finished…straight from the fridge!
Hxx
