Dads rash

[Meeawwww]

Dads got AML. He declined treatment back in August last year. Still going strong . No pain and regular blood tests . He has a rash that’s driving him mad. It’s very red patches or red spots, bumpy . Some days it flares up more than others.Dermatologist appointment is at the end of June . Anyone else experienced this and what has helped the itching. Dads got Isogel And hydrocortisone. This has been 2 months or so now . Any ideas?

Hi, I see Hairbear_UK has replied to you already. I am sorry I cannot help your Dad, but it must be so difficult for you 'not being able to fix him'. It must be a full time job for you, I am hoping you are able to look after yourself as well as you obviously look after your Dad.
