Dear @jintie,
Did you get blisters during chemo too ? Three years ago I did suffer horrible blisters and rashes on the soles of my feet, hands and elbows during and soon after undergoing AC chemo (hand and foot syndrome). For me, lashings of sorbolene cream on the feet particularly helped my skin to heal by two months after chemo ended. Luckily I've had no recurrence.
