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

Unfortunately treatment does horrible things

Have you tried BIO OIL. Massage a little into your skin. I also like hand masks from B&M

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.
