Dry Skin

The dry skin is one of the side effects of chemotherapy. If you do not moisturize properly the skin you could have itchiness, redness and tight skin that could cause you discomfort. We recommend you to apply twice a day "Carmen Reparing Balm" that has active ingredients that moisturize and nourish deeply your skin.

Itchiness

Itchiness and skin irritations appear because of dryness and dehydration. You could scratch and cause sores and infections. We recommend you to use "Carmen Reparing Oil", 100% natural. You should apply it all over the body, emphasizing the soles of the feet and the palms of the hands. It can be mixed with "Carmen Repairing Balm". Highly recommended before bedtime in order to sleep through the night.

Acral Erythema

Acral erythema, known as palmo plantar erythrodysesthesia (PPE) is one of the side effects that may affect your day to day; since it makes it difficult to walk or to grab things with your hands because of the pain it causes.
