Finding the right skin care during chemotherapy treatment can make such a difference in comfort levels. Many community members have shared helpful recommendations for gentle, fragrance-free lotions that work well with sensitive skin during treatment - it would be wonderful to hear what others have discovered works best for them.

Calendula cream worked for me. My radiologist provided it to use after treatments and going forward. It’s great, moisturizing and not greasy. I had never heard of it before! It’s often out of stock but you can request to be notified on the site. https://www.boironusa.com/product/calendula-cream Others may have additional suggestions as well. Take care.

I used the lotion they gave me along with castor oil at night and they were amazed how great my skin was after all my treatments!

I use tallow lotion. But my hands get really really dry and almost chapped like. I rub aquaphor on them and put cotton gloves on. It helps them so much!
