Hi Marcl,
I had burning sensation to the end of my nose and top lip during chemo Capecitabine tablets round two, i washed my face regularly with cold water which seemed to relieve it, then used face cream to stop dryness and flaking.
Hope it helps

Hi Technical Guru,
Thank you, unfortunately my face throbs after I wash it because the skin is flaking off exposing raw red skin. Its a nightmare!
