Red hot skin irritation from chemo
Hi Ladies. Has anyone had any skin reactions from chemo ? I already suffer from dermatitis and use cortisteroid creams on my skin. But I've realised since ive been on paclitaxol I always have a red ...
I wonder if you sleep on that side of your face. Runny eyes and noses as well as all manner of drippy and dribbly events are part of the deal for some of us during chemo.
It took me a while to figure out why I had a rash on one corner of my mouth and chin. Turns out that the relatively benign process of dribbling in my sleep was enough to cause skin breakdown during chemo. I couldn't fix it, sleep trumps skin rashes during chemo, but at least I could console myself that it wasn't some weird new thing I had to try to fix.
Hopefully this too will pass. It would bloody want to. Marg xxx
