Is anyone else experiencing dry skin and prominent varicose veins after treatmen...

Hi Jane.. my hand and nails are very dry and I constantly moisturize.. heels also very dry. There is an app I use "Yuka" app that rates various moisturizer, skin products etc. U may want to download it. Its free if u have internet on ur phone. U can scan the products and see how it rates. U may choose better products this way (ie less carcinogens etc)

Aww thank you Naz

My nails have ridges and are very brittle. Recently,My oncologist pharmacist suggested I use urea cream on my hands and feet. When I take off my clothes it sends flakes into the air and the inside of my clothes are covered in flakes. The ridges are going away. I use eucerin original healing cream for very dry skin on the rest of my body. It takes awhile to rub it in, but it's worth it. I've been on chemo 9.5 years. Good luck!

That’s amazing Virginia. So encouraging. I was diagnosed last April and your resilience is inspiring. God bless you with longevity and great quality of life!

All of a sudden my skin turned into an 80-year-old woman 😞
