Many Thanks for that @Caz1 ... we’ve also dropped the Capecitabine from 6 a day to 4 and if the foot get worse towards the end of the 2 weeks, the Onc said that I can stop them a few days earlier. Weird that only one foot is affected tho! His hands are fine too!
Mind you, he’s had a toe nail fungus for years that no meds can cure unless he goes on the tablets, which can lead to liver failure, so it’s not worth the risk. :(. The cakey toe nails actually started 11 years ago with his original chemo!
I’ll try a pair of Scholl Dry Skin PediMask too (gel socks) .... they are only $7, so worth a try.
SO many choices in Dermaveen and Moogoo ...
Thinking back to a friend in the 80s who had a severe case of Pityriasis Polaris Rex (similar to psoriasis but worse) - 100% of her body was peeling (where she was shedding skin just walking across the room) ... she ended up in hospital and was covered in cream daily, wrapped in warm, wet lengths of cotton wool and then wrapped in plastic as a ‘fake skin’ .... it took months but eventually she came good. She see to out oatmeal flakes in a stocking and dunk it in the bath which made the water ‘slippery’ (instead of using soap.)
take care xx
