Around 4 weeks after chemo somekind of bug bit me underneath my arm pit. I freaked out cahnged sheets, vacummed room from top to bottom Thought it bedbugs. Even bought a new mattress Nothing anywhere in house Nothing in kids rooms. Well the bites are not healing. Is it because Chemo destrowed white boold cells to heal cuts and bites? Anyone have this problem?Thank you everyone Bless us all Kit

Call your doctor as you may
Call your doctor as you may have gotten a secondary infection. Chemo can definitely increase your risk of infection and **** healing.
Do you have lymph nodes on that side? I once got a blob of hot glue on the tip of my left middle finger and had a red streak running up to my armpit by the next day. Had to take antibiotics. But I have no nodes on that side. Back in 1987, the docs took all of your nodes.0 -

your doctor .. you may need anti-biotic cream or med's. WBC is always an issue during our chemo therapy ..
