I am on my 22nd month of acitadine injections, for aml, just lately my skin is itchy, and in between my fingers is itching so much, I can't sleep. Can anyone suggest anything to help, and as to what causes this itching please.
Hi and welcome to the Community.
I had a different blood cancer but can understand the challenges around medical things that come along.
I am assuming you have talked with your team?, as I would always recommend this due to some drugs developing reactions...even years on.
A good dermatological approved hand cream help....but again take advice from a medical professional.
You could also punt your question to Caroline - our Heamatology Nurse she is a Volunteer Experts but please allow 2 working days to get a reply.
