Hi
I finished my course of radiotherapy last week after having 5 sessions, about 3 days after my hands started to peel and no matter how much I moisturise them it won't clear up. Has anyone else had this problem or is this to do with something other than radiotherapy??
Thanks
I finished radiotherapy 9 days ago, and my hands are in a bad way. Dry, sore and cracked. No amount of hand cream seems to help. I thought it was because the weather has been so cold, but perhaps there is a link with the radiotherapy.
i shall try some bio oil.
