Hi 

I have developed a rash on my neck during after I have started Chemotherapy has anyone else experienced this during the start of Chemotherapy, my specialist nurse has prescribed some cream and is very supportive.

  • “Child’s farm” is a good bet for moisturising creams.

    It works well for me on my legs and chest.

    Good luck

  • Hello  

    I had itchy skin during hormone therapy and the two creams that did it for me were "Childs Farm baby moisturiser" and Aproderm which was on prescription from my GP but can be found on Amazon.

    Good luck finding a cure.

    Best wishes - Brian.

  • Hi, 

    I had Chemo rash on the back of my hands (pretty sore), and less so on my cheeks/cheek bones. I found it eased off just before the next cycle then came back after, but didn't really get any worse, thankfully... And as the other guys have mentioned moisturiser is the best bet, most like E45 types helped but the best one for me was Neutrogena Norwegian Formula.

    Hope this helps

    All the best
