After my weekly infusions I get a red rash like a severe sunburn on my cheeks. My scalp also stings for a few days. I hope your rash gets better, maybe try taking Benadryl. 🙏❤️

I also have a rash from taxol. Red raised spots on arms, legs, and back. I was prescribed kenalog cream. Helps very little but I keep using it. 2 more taxol treatments. Hopefully the rash gets better quickly.😊
Yes, allergic reactions and rashes can occur with Taxol (paclitaxel). Here are some details:
- Allergic Reactions: Some people may have an allergic reaction to paclitaxel and may need to receive another medication to counter this allergy.
- Rashes: Rashes and other skin reactions are common side effects of paclitaxel.
