Hi @riss81
I had pretty sensitive skin before chemo and radiation and it's gotten worse since, I finished radiation 5 months ago and chemo 7 months ago. I rash up at the drop of a hat now. I got some corticosteroid cream from my gp to sooth it a bit. I find using qv bar, qv gentle wash, qv shampoo and conditioner and qv cream helps. I also wear sensitive gloves (non latex) when washing up and use bosistos sensitive washing detergent for my laundry.
I'm embracing the chemo curl too..... my hair has come back all curly ( it was wavy before it fell out this time last year!) It's also thicker than it was which is a bonus!
Best wishes for your treatment!
