Today is my 4th day on Tarceva at 150 mg.  Can anyone describe the possible rash. Someone wrote that their finger tips split, in what way?  I work full time with the public.  Am I going to have to hide from everyone for a while? My doctor did not say how long I will be on it.

Hi, I have not gotten any other responses.  My side effects were textbook and so severe that my doctor took me off cold turkey, after only two weeks.  The skin cracked on my feet to the point that they bled and my skin started to pull away from the nail on my fingers. I spent a week without.  Most effects went away but then I acquired a different rash, like raw skin, underarms, thighs, and back.  Week 4 I was put back on Tarceva, this time 100mg.  The red rash has pretty much gone away.  After a week on the new stuff, the original rash has come back. It looks like acne, not as bad on my face this time but it is also on my torso and really bad on my scalp.  My skin feels like sandpaper turned inside out. Hope this helps if you know someone starting on Tarceva.  I am still tired but doing waayyy better than before. Good luck.
