Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is possible that one or more of the medications that you are using is causing the breakout but you should cross check your medications side effect profile. Many medications for cancer affect the immune system and the bacteria in different aspects of the body including the skin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
