Chemo sting

Hi

Any recommendations for for chemo sting. 

Not sure if its been triggered by use of bleach / surface wipes or chemo treatment, which was last Wednesday. It's like a bee sting internally but mainly in my hands.

Any product recommendations, trying antihistamine at the moment, and Arnica gel.

 

Thanks!

  • Hello Lula

    I just wanted to let you know that our nurse team is now out of the office until Tuesday morning but they will reply as soon as they're able to after the bank holiday weekend. 

    If you're at all concerned by your symptoms then do give NHS 111 a call. I hope things settle for you soon. 

    Best wishes,

  • Hello, and thanks for your post,

    I would get in touch with the chemotherapy helpline as they may want to assess the area particularly if it is uncomfortable after a week. it is very difficult for us to assess it based on what you have told us.

    I hope that you manage to speak to someone soon. 

    All the best,

    Catherine
