Chemotherapy rash

I finished chemotherapy on April 2. I started to break out with a small rash on my arms only. On April 8thbit started to spread more. I was taking benadryl seemed to help some but on April 12 the rash went crazy. All over my whole body. Itching, burning so uncomfortable. Was using hydrocortisone cream. Seemed to help some. Went to the oncologist theybput me on steroids and a steroid cream. I some areas it seems to be getting better but other areas its not. Has any experienced this rash after finishing Chemotherapy. I did 6 rounds of Taxol and carboplatin. No rash the whole time except fornthe end. How long did the rash last? They tell me it could be 4 to 6 weeks. Also what other things have you done to help ease the burning and itching.
