Struggling with skin blisters

Ricaroo1
Offline

Hello, I am 15 treatments into a 28 day cycle of chemoradiotherapy to treat Anal Cancer. My skin all around my vagina and bottom is so so sore and blistered that using any hydrogel, Aloe Vera or E45 is out of the question. I am dosed up on Morphine and Oromorph for the pain but has anyone been suggested anything else that may help me in the meantime for healing before it all starts again on Monday?

 

A rather desperate lass of 36. Thanks.

  • Hello Ricaroo1,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are having to deal with these blisters and that you haven't found relief. I hope some of our members who have had similar experiences will pop by very shortly to offer advice but in the meantime, you might want to have a look here at this page from our website and hopefully, this will help a bit. 

    Also, if you think that asking someone medically trained for advice might help, our cancer nurses will be happy to take your call. Their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9 a.m - 5 p.m on 0808 800 4040.

    I hope you feel better soon.

    Best wishes,
