Itchy Itchy Itchy ! Skin is itching fiercely after chemo
I just finished my last round of chemo, #6, The next day ( Yesterday) I was over come with severely itchy skin, everywhere but especially my arms and legs.
I never had this reaction after any of my previous treatments.
The only thing different about this one was that they stopped the Taxol infusion, to ease my newly acquired neuropathy. Not sure if that's the reason.
I have eliminated all laundry caused issues, and used some Eucerin cream made for Eczema, as well as aloe vera, my trusty backup for skin irritations.
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and what was done to help.
I've never had this issue before, it's driving me absolutely nuts.
