What Could Itchy Rashes On Skin With White Stools Suggest?

I have been on Tarceva for 10 months, had all the typical side effects in the beginning. For the past 4 months I have been dealing with extreme rash and terrible itchy skin. It comes and goes but when it is real bad it kind of resembles ececema. Today I noticed a slight pain in my right side and I have been having very light coloured almost white stool. Is this something I should be consulting my oncologist about?
