Eyes

I’m having chemo last week had my 3rd round of 4. I have developed a raised red rash near my eye I have put antiseptic cream which has helped. But now my other eye seems swollen. 
Is this a side effect of the chemo. By the way I am having chemo because I am at risk of cancer returning. 

  • Hello and thanks for your enquiry,

    Chemotherapy can make the possibility of rashes and infections more common.

    Do let your hospital chemotherapy team know about it, so they can monitor this. In the meantime, seek advice from your GP or your local pharmacist about products to use near the eye area as many antiseptic creams are not to be used near the eye area.

    I hope that you get this concern sorted out soon,

    Best wishes,

    Vanda
