It is itching as bad as poisin oak. Wondering if its from the Radiation or could it be poison oak. He had a rash before when he was on Erbitux. That was in Chemo family. It has been 1 week since his treatments have been thru. Thanks for any input.

Also, once in a great while the Radiation Treatment will cause a Histamine/ Allergic type reaction, probably due to the cell killing of the radiation. Treat the same as an allergic reaction Antihistamines , Corticosteroids, Silvadene for any broken down areas after cleaning with 50/50 peroxide and water.
