What Causes Sore And Tingling Lips While On Tarceva For Lung Cancer?
I have badly sore and stinging lips from my lung cancer medication, TARCEVA. When I went off the medication for just two days, the lips went back to normal. As this is life saving medication, is there anything I can put on my lips to get rid of the symptoms. I have used clindamycin on my skin - eyebrows, chest and face before when this type of irritation has occurred - with great success. THANKYOU.

Hello Greetings
Regarding your symptoms of sore and stingy lips following your medication for lung cancer I am suggesting you meet your physician for clinical assessment of your condition
Since there Is a successful achievement following the application of clindamycin I believe you should continue with it and still book appointment with your physician
