Help for family member - itchy lumps

Hello,

A family member has cancer and she has now got lumps (infected lymph nodes) on her head. They are really sore to touch and her head now iches as well. We wondered if there was anyone with something similar and if they had found anything ie, cream, remidy to help ease the itch and sooth them a bit. 

Many thanks 

 

  • Welcome to the Cancer Chat forum Maper although I'm sorry for the reason you have joined us.

    I think there have been a few discussions on the forum about ways to dealing with itchiness so hopefully those members who have experience of this will pop by soon to share their recommendations with you however, do feel free to give our cancer nurses a call whilst you wait. Their phone number is 0808 800 4040 and they're available Monday - Friday between 9a.m -5 p.m.

    I hope you're able to find something that helps to alleviate these unpleasant symptoms for your family member soon Maper.

    All the best,
