On CMF had peeling feet with EPI still get some feet problems finger tips flakey use diprobase cream you can get from hospital or GP it clears it up

I had taxotere and had dreadfully itchy skin, I was given Zantac and when that didn’t work Atarax - mind you it can make you a bit sleepy though. It did help with the itching so I used to take it before having tax and then about a week after, until the next round.

Hope this helps.

Hi there

I had terrible itching somewhere very awkward - all around the perineum. the chemo nurse said to try an antihistamine and it worked wonders. May be worth trying but check with your unit first?
