I'm looking to see if anyone else that is taking imbruvica has cuts and sores on their fingers. How does anyone or is there any remedy. I've used a lot of creams. Khiel's is the present one that is supposed to be the best. I've also used working hand. Please help. Very painful.

I had sore and cracking skin on hands and fingers while on ibrutinib, I used lots of E45 cream and cotton gloves as it's very oily. Certainly helped but never cured the problem, Terry

I’m on Calquence not imbruvica and have dry cracking skin and sores mostly on one hand. I’ve had that for years before starting Calquence. I use Gold Bond Ultimate lotion multiple times a day. It helps me

I suffered from this for a time and the most brilliant product is called Hexomedine. It’s a liquid antiseptic from France, and I just dip my fingers in it. My local pharmacy is run by a French woman but last time I looked it was available on Amazon. My hairdresser, who is also French uses it. It seems to dry up cuts and sore skin quickly. Do try.

I take a supplement called Biotin. It doesnt work immediately but along with other treatments suggested may help. Many folk have breaking fingernails and they were breaking along the edges of my fingers. Biotin was mentioned.Sorry you are having this pain, Anne uk

I did when I was taking Ibrutinib. I used olive oil, it seemed to help.
