Tamoxifen bad skin

Hi. Is anyone suffering with bad skin since taking Tamoxifen? I’ve been on it for over a year now. My skin was great after chemo but now it’s blotchy and dry. I use organic products and eat well, so l can only think it’s my medication.

Hi Smudgie31

Hi Smudgie31

 

It’s Emily here from Breast Cancer Care.

 

A few of our telephone volunteers have noted a change in their skin since taking tamoxifen, such as dry skin and a change in elasticity.

 

If you’d like me to arrange for someone to give you a call while you’re waiting for replies on here, feel free to drop me a direct message through the forum with your name and number, or you can call us directly on 0345 077 1893. A staff member will have a chat to you first to talk through what you’re experiencing, so that we can match you with a volunteer who’s experienced something similar. 

 

Best wishes
Emily at Breast Cancer Care
