rash

I have been on treatment for 6 months now and have many side affects. My hair is falling out really bad and is very noticeable. But my question is does the treatment also give you rashes on your elbows real bad??

Skin issues are very common with tx. Mine were bad, but many people are able to tolerate it, especially witht the help of a good dermatologist.  Sorry that you are having so many side effects.  The hair will return after treatment. Hang in there; you are half way home.

I have a rash on my torso and the front of my legs. I'm in my 14th week, the rash started about 3 weeks ago and seems to just be spreading. I have been using Goldbond and Aveeno. Both help with the itching and feel soothing.

I had them on my back.  Half dollar sized, some days they felt like they were on fire.  Goldbond worked for me.
