I am on chemo for lymphoma and my skin, particularly on my face is itchy and sore. Does anyone have suggestions for lotions oils etc that could help.

I would try Aloe vera gel

You can get the real plant or buy a some already in a bottle jar or tube. This will stop the itching and soothe your face. It also has antiviral and antibacterial properties which will prevent more rash from appearing and it's all natural so no side effects which you don't need since. U r already being treated for cancer
