Hi
Looking for help with my skin, chemo and immuno has covered me in a rash
which is dark and red. Can anyone help with anything that has made it at
least fade or disappear. I have tried Cortisol cream ,Prednisole , Moogoo Oil
and Sorbolene. Any other suggestions please.
Thanks Jody

HiJodpri
that sounds really challenging/ I’m sorry to hear it.
have you finished your chemo and immunotherapy?
I am not sure if this helps, but I developed a very painful sunburn style flushed red skin (on my face, hands and feet) after my first two treatments. My oncologist advised a slight dose reduction was needed. Once the dose was reduced the skin eventually healed. I was offered a cortisone cream to relieve it and it helped me. Hope you find something to help through this wonderful group.Thanks so much.
