skin problems whilst on chemo

just a quick question, does anyone else have skin problems while on chemotherapy, I’m at stage 2A cervical cancer

  • Hi Shannon 

    Alot of people have skin problems it can vary depending on type of cemotherapy i had lumps on back of my hands and a large wart on my face went to Dr about it, told just leave it alone. After cemo all went. Some have sores and dry patches and even cracked skin. If your worried ask oncology nurse. Good luck and best wishes for the future things do get better.

  • I had really dry hands, I thought it was from all the anti bac and constant washing, turns out it was from the way I was drying my hands, I kept rubbing them with the towel too hard on one spot. 
    I also had some dry skin on my face, I used a mild sponge one of the abrasion ones don't know what they're called, in the shower with baby soap and Curel moisturiser after I was out and dry, and that seemed to help.
