I started treatment in December: immunotherapy fortnightly and Axitinib 5mg twice daily. No problems for the first month but then my skin started itching on my back, arms, shoulders and abdomen all the time except when I’m asleep. The cancer centre have given me Pliazon Plus cream which gives me some relief but not lasting. Does anyone have any advice about how to manage the itching please.
Hi had it mainly on my lower legs gp gave me zeroAQS emollient which I found helps
Hi Chester fc, thank you for that information. I now been some steroid cream from my GP but I will bare it in mind!
