Face rash remedies

I am about to start a new treatment ENCORAFENIB ( oral) and CETUXIMAB (IV) for metastatic colorectal cancer.

One of the side effects is a face rash. Would love some ideas/ products that has helped you deal with this. I do know my oncologist will give me some antibiotic but what was your daily facial regime and products you found helpful or unhelpful.
TIA

QV gentle wash. Drink plenty of water and eat healthy. It will take time but will heal naturally. The doctors wanted me to use steroid cream, I chose not to and my may worked, all is well now. If the rash starts to dry out use sunscreen. Good luck and all the best. 👍
