Hi, I finished chemo last Friday but for the last three weeks have developed lots of acne type clusters of red small spots on my forehead and across my cheeks and nose. Has anyone else experienced this ?

  • That, no. But chemo did all kinds of weird things to my skin, so in the end my oncologist referred me to a dermatologist who was able to help by prescribing some strong moisturising lotions and a gentle soap that I now use for everything. 

  • Yup!! Drives me absolutely nuts, I get it all over my face, really hacks me of, I’ve had it last three cycles, mines just on its way up again now after chemo on Tuesday. I’ve been using a unscented no additive face cream and hydrocortisone cream in it xx

  • Thanks Anna, my GP has referred me to a dermatologist but I have been using Sudocrem and it has almost gone ! X

  • Love sudocrem Rofl is there nothing it can’t fix RoflRofl 

  • I have used tons of brands, every product you can think of to try to fight acne, and I’m at the point where I am super skeptical. How delightful to find a product that lives up to the hype. First of all dermal md acne serum smells so good. It has a silky texture, and absorbs beautifully, but most importantly it is actually healing my acne! I have seen improvement in the texture of my skin, & fewer breakouts. It makes my skin feel really good too, not dry and tight like most anti-acne products. Really pleased.Two heartsTwo hearts
