Hi, Everyone, quick question....I finished Taxol on Sept 9th. Went very well but in the past few days i have noticed a rash on one foot--top towards the side that is very itchy and red. My toenails on this one foot only have started to come off (Sorry to be so gross.....) Has anyone experienced a rash from Taxol (I had 4 DD Taxol treatments)? I have been keeping it clean and putting Neosporing on it. Just curious if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks very much.

Hi hopeful. YES! I had a terrible Taxol rash. I had it on my hands however. Particularly on my right hand-from my knuckles to my wrist. Very red and bumpy and very itchy. It was almost like a thickening of the skin. My fingernails did not fall off, but they got very brown and soft. I had 12 rounds of taxol, finishing on June 21st. The rash was pretty much gone by mid-August. Now my nails are completely clear and the rash long-gone. My oncologist prescribed a cortison cream. I had to use tons of it, but it really helped with itching and the redness to some extent. I had major difficulty with my chemo, and now am finsihing up radiation and doing much better. So remember, this will ALL pass. God bless, Jean
