Has anyone else got Pompholyx (a type of eczema) from chemo?
I had Palmar Plantar on hands and feet during chemo, which continued but lessened after chemo. It seems to have since triggered very itchy and painful episodes of Pompholyx.
I'd never had any type of eczema before so just looking to understand if many others have the same.
That looks really sore . CrumpetsOrToast However I can totally see why chemo triggers other conditions.
Its not the kindest for sure .
Giving this a wee bump back up to the top !
