What Causes Rashes On Back, Feet, Legs And Arms After Taking Afinitor?
My husband is on Afinitor 10 mg and is now experiencing rashes on his back, feet, legs and arms. They are patchy in nature. His GP doctor told him to keep it lubricated with lotion like Lubriderm. It doesn t seem to be getting better. Any advise on what to use?
