Has anyone experienced a skin reaction to the sun since having radiotherapy although some months ago, I have been careful but my arms are covered in itchy burning bumps that are spreading, I never used to be sensitive to the sun, thanks
Funnily enough I was sitting in the sun in the garden at the weekend and commented to my husband that my arms were itching and the top of my head which I haven't noticed before. My radiotherapy was 2 and a half years ago now so maybe not connected at all but it did seem odd for me.
Hugs, Lesley xx
Thanks reply, top of my head too, driving me crazy xx
