I hope im allowed to post this but mums been struggling with her skin due to side effects from cetuximab, and a while ago I posted a query on here about what she might be able to use. She has always had super sensitive reactive skin, and despite trying lots of different creams such as aveeno and sudocrem, mum found one that really worked brilliantly and didnt make her itchy or sore. In fact it was very soothing, moisturising and to be honest i dont think we could manage without it now. Its from a company called Bee Potion, and it is called Bee Pure. If anyone else is struggling to find something that is gentle but effective, i would definately give it a go. I hope this can help someone else.
Thanks for taking the time to post this recommendation for other people and I'm glad to hear that your mum has found that it does the trick!

Hello Knowledgeispower20Knowledgeispower20 thanks for this. I was going to ask the forum if anyone could recommend anything for sore scalp. My partner has had 2 out of 4 cisplatin and etoposide sessions and although only a small amount of his hair has fallen out, his scalp is very very sore and sensetive.
I will look up the bee potion/ bee pure but if anyone else has any ideas they would be gratefully received.
Thank you all. You are all lovely :)
