I'm new at this website. I do like this regimen the best. I have given this recommendation to patients who have failed regenecare which is a prescribed cream. I would have your son try that 1st and if it's not working, or he needs additional hydration - use the green tea serum and epidermal repair. All these products can be purchased via the internet. The epidermal repair is costly, but I think is worth it. Usually the Erbitux rash is primarily on the face/scalp, and sometimes continues on the chest/back. I would use these expensive creams/serums on the face/head only. I hope this is helpful. Tell your son to hang in there -- we've seen great results with the Erbitux!Nicole nikkikd Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Hi Nicole- I am not sure if I missed something, but what product did you recomend for Erbitux?  It seems like your post is in reply to another post but I could not track it.  My Dad also needs help with the rash. Dina DinaZ Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT Sorry, Dina. You should probably ask for a Rx for Regenecare cream - this works for many and is covered by insurance. If that fails, however, I like this regimen: a gentle cleanser by skinceuticals -- either simply clean or their extra gentle cleanser. Next, look for Neova calming green tea serum - this can be applied several times a day and is very soothing. Over this apply a hydrating cream - ie. Skinceuticals epidermal repai - this aids in healthy skin cell turnover and is very soothing as well. A good website where you can find these is the skinstore.com. I hope this helps! nikkikd Mon, 21 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 4/21/2008 nikkikd wrote:Sorry, Dina.
