Bob, you MUST STOP SCRATCHING!
It spreads when scratched. If it spreads
They take ppl off Tx!
Put Triamcinolone Acetonide on rash
Wait 30 minutes and put heavy layer of
Vaseline over it.
Take Tylenol or Aleve if your doctor approves.
Is rash anywhere else?
What week are you on Invicek?
My heart goes out to new people doing Invicek.
It reminds me of how bad it gets at times.

I have searched and red the posts on rash.  Have tried steroid creams, oatmeal baths, aveeno, cocoa butter.  The good news is that this doesn't cover that much of my body.  Any additional suggestions would be appreciated.  When the itching gets bad, I feel like tearing my skin off.  Because of blood count issues I had my VL checked after 12 days and was down 3.9 logs to 135.  I want to stick with this, but I am worried about the rash and all of the bad stuff I have read.  ANy suggestions would be appreciated.
