Really Rough Skin

I just noticed that my upper chest has really rough skin. I even took the wash cloth and rubbed it harder than a normal wash in the shower and it's still so rough. It feels like it is peeling or rough like a sunburn would but doesn't look red or anything. My nurse told me to wear sunscreen (which I don't) because I'm not outside that much in the sun but now I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the skin. The back of my neck where I would have sunburn doesn't feel rough to the touch. Geez I hate chemo, but just plug along with the side affects. Never knew this to be one though.

    I had some sort of rash on my chest last week.
    I had some sort of rash on my chest last week. It didn't last but a day or two but it was so irritating. It was itchy. Glad it is gone.

    Not a Rash
    Its really not a rash it's just rough skin. It is so weird. I feel like my skin is an alien waiting to shed a new life. Well maybe that's good so I can have cancer be gone forever. I put lotion on, but it's still rough.
