He is experiencing terrible skins rashes all over his body and scratches until he bleeds. We've tried all sorts of creams and aloes and dermatologist recommended salves, but nothing seems to work....has anyone found any miracle cure to this terrible skin rash? thanks Mainecliffdweller Fri, 25 Mar 2005 00:00:00 GMT Hello, I started taking Iressa Nov. of 2003, when I started it I had a slight rash on my back. Last month I broke out in a rash from my ankles to my neck, I too have tried all ointments, creams and powders'along with Allegra that my Dr perscribed for me, and NOTHING helps. I have blood over my cloths, bedcloths and sometimes I feel it will drive me crazy. Bonnie B. Mon, 18 Apr 2005 00:00:00 GMT Band-Aid has a campher anti -itch cream - I have found it very helpful! I also find that the rash I have on my ankles and feet respond well to socks used to soften your feet at night. Lotion or cream can be used with the socks; while it doesn't get rid of the problem it helps to calm those rash discomforts that could drive one mad! good luck! Rosieme Mon, 26 Dec 2005 00:00:00 GMT
