Mitomycin

I am on a course of mitomycin instillation. Can this cause a flareup of eczema?

  • Hello and thanks for posting,

    Mitomycin chemotherapy can cause effects on the skin, and therefore could exacerbate existing skin conditions. You may need to review any current products or medications for your eczema. You may need to use different products, and your local pharmacist, GP, or hospital team may be able to advise further. 

    I hope it helps,

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Yours sincerely,
