  • Hi Nicnac12

    Am sorry that your having problems with your skin during your cancer treatment. It sounds really sore.

    I see that you have had chemo...........are you still on it? During my chemotherapy my skin was very much like you are describing. In the end I contacted the cancer help line, spoke to a nurse who sorted out prescriptions for me which helped. There were tablets and a cream.

    I would consider contacting your CNS/doctor and asking for something that helps. Sometimes the over the counter creams and antihistamines just aren't enough.

  • I have hayfever at the moment but that is different to the skin irritation, redness, soreness and tightness that I had following the chemo. My eyes were also very irritated. Hopefully what ever is causing it can be sorted for you quickly

  • We think we know what's  causing the problem . Be careful  everyone  when using sun tan lotion.  I used factor 50 has advised but hot normal one not the one for sensitive skin . Now ordered baby factor 50 for sensitive skin . Just hope we are right and i can sort it out

  • Glad you have an idea of what is causing it- sounds very possible
