Giselle Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hi, I have been on Tagrisso for 3 weeks now and started to get a lot of pimples all over my face. Did anyone have a similar side effect and if so, could please share how it was managed? I am treating with topical antibiotics now, but not really working. Thank you!

Karen_L Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 @Giselle, I’m just catching up on posts after being away for some time. I’m sorry you are experiencing this. I know skin issues are a side effect of Tagrisso. I’ve read that dermatologists can bring out the big guns and treat it. I’ve also read that sometimes people have had to go on a round of oral antibiotics to deal with it. Perhaps ask your oncologist to recommend a dermatologist?

LilRedOne Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM Geez, acne now?! That isn't on the list. I have most of the side effects they list except the bad ones, so far (fingers crossed). My worst being diarrhea (pure water). Which even caused a UTI. But what's bothering me the most now is sores in my nose and nosebleeds. That also is not on the list. Just mouth sores, I suppose I should be happy it's a not my mouth.
