Hi Red, I did have a little itchy skin, mainly on chest area. E45 or Antihistamines, hope you get some relief. Xxxx
Hi I suffered really badly from skin rash after immunotherapy and was put on high dose of steroids that seemed to do the trick and the rash has never come back and I am on cycle 23 of treatment.
It's a common reaction and often oncologists say is a sign that the immune system is mounting a response which probably doesn't help but might reassure... Jennifer Young skincare does an itchy skin spray on sale at Roy Castle lung cancer foundation online shop and CRUK shop - might be worth a try? hope you get some relief soon.
