Hi guys,
My wife has just finished chemo and radiotherapy after her lung cancer op.
She finds she has very dry and tender skin, especially on her face. We tried a very expensive skin cream, only to find that she had a bad reaction to it a d her skin peeled terribly.
Does anyone have any recommendations for a non reactive skin cream and a SPF50 sun cream?
Hi MickS92 her clinical team should have recommended suitable creams for her……. She can call them and talk this through.
The other option is for her to go in and talk with a pharmacist in your local pharmacy as this is within their area of expertise.
