Hi does anyone have an effective treatment for itchy skin caused by anti-cancer treatment

Good Afternoon jkcpb

I have Prostate Cancer and the hormone Therapy gave me itchy skin - I tried almost ever moisturiser on the market and the best one for me was "Child's farm - Baby Moisturiser".

You will get more replies to you question if you post in either this forum:

Hello - Thank you for your reply. I have secondary breast cancer. Although my skin is dry and sensitive I think the culprit for the recent unbearable itching was a change in bedding which is now being got rid of. I have also arranged annual holiday insurance with InsureandGo telling them I have secondary breast cancer and take Ribociclib amongst other things - if this is of assistance to anyone else. Best wishes
