skin rash with Herceptin?

skin rash with Herceptin?

I am receiving Herceptin once every three weeks.  I've had 12 treatments and have 5 more to go.  I recently (10 days ago) developed a VERY ITCHY rash on the top of one foot, which is now spreading to the other.  I went to my family doc 4 days, who gave em a prescription for an anti-fungal cream that has some anti-itch cortisone added.  So far, it's getting worse not better.  Could this be related to the Herceptin?  The doctor says it looks more like a contact dermatitis than anything else, but it's spreading.

Thank you in advance!

That is one of the side effects of Herceptin ... you might contact your Oncologist's office regarding this problem. I'm sure they will have some solution or at least some measure of help for you.     Regards ....
