There is some thought that the skin rash may be a sign that the targeted therapy is working (the worse the rash, the better the treatment is working). But long-term follow-up is needed to link the rash to outcomes. People with no rash or with only a mild rash should not assume that the treatment is not working. The 2 most important things you can do is take good care of your skin when you start targeted therapy and let your doctor know right away about any skin changes you may have.
