PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Explore the effectiveness of a menadione topical lotion to the face to prevent cutaneous and psychological discomfort from epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Explore the adverse event profile of a menadione topical lotion to the face to prevent rash from EGFR inhibitors.
II. Explore whether rash or adverse events worsen over a 4 week period after this 4-week intervention.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I: Patients apply menadione topical lotion twice daily (BID) for 28 days.
ARM II: Patients apply topical placebo lotion BID for 28 days.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 4 weeks.
