Chemotherapy and its toxic effects on your skin

Now it's proven that skin-related side effects from cancer treatment can have an emotional, physical, and psychological impact on a patient. While newer targeted therapies have increased the survival rate among cancer a patients, "Patients treated with EGFRIs frequently experience toxic effects such as eruptions of the face, dry, itchy skin and nail inflammation."

"The results of this breakthrough study released by Supportive Care in Cancer articulate that cancer survivors reported an increased concern regarding dermatologic toxicities, including irritated and dry skin, after receiving their cancer treatment. These events had a negative effect on their lives. This survey breaks new ground in understanding not only the physical but also the psychological impact of these side effects from the patient's perspective, and what can be done to help alleviate them."
