Woke up today with small red spots all over my body, now growing and merging into larger red spots. Ugly.
Skin feeling very hot and a bit itchy!
Just like for Sorafenib which I had to stop.
Trying corticoïd cream but I suspect it won't be enough.

This might actually be a great response for you. I too was on sorafinib, with minimal results and lots of neuropathy and rash. The Zelboraf caused extensive rash and fever. I was hydrated and put on drug holiday. Symptoms stabilized in four days and then I started a reduced dosage. I had to experience this whole cycle on more time to find the right dosage for my body. I’ve been on 480mg 2x day for 15 months.squamous cell skin cancer can be a side effect that is taken care of with excision. men tend to be more susceptible and 26% of Zelboraf population will get SC.
