  1. I started taking 5 tablets of tykerb 250 mg each on a Thursday. The following Tuesday evening I noticed 2 white pimples on my chin. I have never had breakouts even growing up. By Thursday morning a week after taking tykerb I was swollen around my chin upper lip into the nose with swollen pimples. My scalp was covered. They were very painful. I also became dizzy with any kind of movement on Wednesday evening. I went to my oncologist which he suggested I stop taking it for one week and we’ll start again with a lower dose if symptoms have resolved. Until then benedryl and cortisone cream will be my friend.
