While it may not be entirely preventable, several strategies can help reduce the risk of developing Hand-Foot Syndrome. These include:
Wearing comfortable, well-fitting shoes to minimize friction Using cushioned insoles Avoiding hot water and prolonged pressure on the hands and feet Applying moisturizers regularly to keep the skin hydrated Using cooling pads or cold packs to reduce inflammation
Your healthcare provider may also adjust the dosage of the chemotherapy drug or recommend a temporary break from treatment if symptoms become severe.
