Hey everyone,
Ive been taking plx4032 for bout 9 weeks now, with amazing results in regards to shrinking all my tumours. Only problem is Ive got the most severe, acne- like, extremely sore facial rash ๐ Its been like this for 5 weeks now and only seems to be getting worse. Its in my ears, on my head, up my nose, down my throat, its crazy stuff!! The rash is all over my body but not as sore or severe as my face. My whole body is so itchy tho, its driving me nuts!

Has anyone else experienced this? & how have u treated it? My oncologist gave me some tabs to treat acne and infection, and some cortsone type cream. Hes given me a week, and if theres no improvement in my skin, he is going to drop my dosage of PLX, which Im a bit scared to do when Im getting such a good response. He does not seem too concerned about dropping my dose & thinks that 6 tabs a day instead of 8 will be sufficient for my body weight (53kg)
What do all you experts out there think & has anyone had this RASH problem…Will it ever GO AWAY??
Thanks all for your wonderful kind hearted replies,
keep smiling everyone ๐ Simmy from Oz xo
