Crushing Votrient For Topical Use

My mother suffered from angiosarcoma of the scalp diagnosed in 2015. She went thru chemo and radiation. She was put on votrient after the radiation. It ran her BP up so much that she had to quit taking it. She now has recurring tumors in the scalp. She had remaining votrient and had the great idea of crushing the tablets and making a paste to apply directly to the tumors in her scalp. I told her not to do this, but she is a retired nurse and doesn't listen to anyone. She ended up breaking out in a rash that is currently covering her entire torso. Dr has no idea what it is. Could it be related to using the votrient for this purpose?

Yes, there is a chance that it is due to this use of the Votrient. It could also cause skin flaking, and dryness, according to NIH reports.

What type of tumors is she experiencing? Is she on any other medications?
