Pimples on Tagrisso


Giselle

Recommended Posts

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!

@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?

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.
