  • Hi Raeskarma, 

    I saw you were asking for some advice on how to look after your skin and hair during chemo so I just thought I'd share some articles we have about this on our website. If you click here you can find out how to cope emotionally and practically with the changes chemo can cause to your skin and hair. We have some information on the different types of skin problems and hair problems that may occur and how to manage them as well.

    I hope these all prove useful but if you'd like to have a chat with one of our cancer nurses about this then you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    I'm sure some of our members will offer their tips and advice to you soon as well.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
