Knotts Dermatology - Skin Care for Cancer Patients

The Importance of Skin Care During Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, can have profound effects on your skin. Patients undergoing these treatments often experience various skin issues, including dryness, sensitivity, itching, rashes, and even severe acne. It is crucial to prioritize proper skin care during cancer treatment to minimize discomfort and maintain the overall health and well-being of your skin.
