Facial rash

[Steph J]

Hi Tili 

Just thought I would update you . I sought advice as the facial rash was becoming so itchy and not showing any signs of letting up . 

It did confuse as it did cross my mind if it was the Letrozole the rash would be more widespread . 

Anyway the GP seems to think it could be rosacea . I was taken by surprise by that diagnosis until I had a good read and seemingly one of the causes can be stress . This would correspond with the timing of my diagnosis & start of rash . 

So mystery over I think , got the metronidazole cream & hopefully it will clear it up . 

Regards

Thank you for your reply . 

Yes Iv read about rashes but not specifically facial , I'm wondering if the Letrozole is reacting with something that I eat on a regular basis as sometimes it seems to start itching after Iv eaten but again not the same foods . 

Bit of mystery at this stage & yes I will be getting it checked

Good morning Steph,

After reading your post, I’m sure I have a read this before Letrozole can cause skin problems, however I think you should get this checked out hopefully nothing too serious.

wishing you well, big hugs Tili 🌈🙏🌈🙏

Hi 

Im just trying to find out if anyone else has developed a facial rash after starting Letrozole or any of the other hormone tablets ? 

I started to notice a slight itch on cheeks &  then a couple of spots , now I have the rash on forehead & both cheeks . Its steadily getting worse .

I will seek medical opinion but thought Id ask the group first .
