On herceptin and perjeta , stage 4 , itchy skin and now itchy scalp -anyone treated itch sucessfully
I’ve been on H&P for over 12 months -experiencing itchy skin for last 4 months or so. Mostly red spots on chest and shoulders/back Told oncologist and am using cortisone cream on chest and shoulder...
@D_Tizzle53 It is horrible and something that we are not told about prior to treatment. I have actually been told it wasn't the treatment and to go see my GP. Pfffft. I wish I could help but am in the same boat. I had a EGO QV Flare up bath yesterday, followed by the QV eczema lotion. I got five hours relief which was lovely. Then itch started again. I had a shower this morning using the QV wash, followed by the QV lotion again and at the moment I only have one itch on my belly. I tried all those things you are on with no success. I have increased my water intake and today I am going to up my probiotics as that is supposed to help. I will definitely let you know if I find success. Once again, for me, aloe vera gel is a reasonable short term solution. Sending big hugs. One other interesting thing, I thought my sheepskin boots would flare up my ankles, but it seems to relieve them ????????
