Boils

Does anyone know if a boil is a major concern when going through chemo. 

 

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    Some chemotherapy drugs can cause skin changes or rashes A boil may be of concern if it inflamed or oozing as this may be a sign of infection and will need treating with antibiotics.

    Tell your doctor or nurse about your boil. They can assess it and suggest treatment to relieve any symptoms.
