I've developed what I think is chemo rash on my cheeks and forehead.. On one website they say that the best way to clear it is my following a gentle and careful skin care regime. I have sensitive, pale skin and over many years find that Johnsone's 'Top to Toe' is the best for me. I dry with a flannel and add it to the wash after each use. It started on my deft check, spread to my right and is now above my nose too.
Has anyone had this and have tips on clearing it up? I've taken a picture for my oncologist. Help!
Hi Londonmumof2
PlEase do check it out with your team
but ..... often an anti histamine can be added if not already in your cocktail of chemo
Call your out of hours onco team - that’s what they are there for
