red face - is it an effect of the chemo? Sort of like a red scalp before hair falls off?
My husband was just commenting on how my face is red. Although I am light blonde, so you can't really see it, I have much body hair, all fast growing (but of course I groom it). So my conclusion is that my face is red, because the hair follicles in my pale white face with thin skin (blush easily) are being impacted by the chemo. I read about someone who had "all" their hair everywhere on their body fall out. I feel I can be one of those people.
Has anyone experienced this?

Are you still doing chemo?

My face was always red for a few days around my chemo days due to the steriods.
All of my hair fell out when I was doing chemo. We all are affected differently.

Thanks Donna! I just had my first Chemo this past Wednesday. I did not know about possible redness from the steroids. Thanks for calming me that my symptom is normal. I expect all my hair to fall out as it is all fast growing.
Thanks so much for sharing.
