Skin blisters?!

Hi folks - I started taking tomoxifen in January and apart from initial fatigue (which settled down) and flaky nails (which I can live with!) I have been fine. However - the first bit of April got me in the garden as usual - with factor 20 on my face - but my skin has blistered in various patches. Not itchy - just layers of skin have come off so it is quite sore and looks pretty awful. Has anyone else had this sort of reaction taking tomaxifen? I'm guessing it's factor 50 from here on.. ? 

  • Hi Joolski, I don't know about tamoxifen but my husband and granddaughter, both on different types of chemo were told to avoid sun as skin can be hyper sensitive with chemo. So perhaps stay in the shade. 

    I am sure someone on here will know about tamoxifen and will be along to share thir experience. Xxx
