How can patients manage sensitive skin during cancer treatment?
Managing sensitive skin involves a combination of gentle skincare routines and protective measures:
Gentle Cleansing: Use mild, fragrance-free cleansers to avoid further irritation. Moisturizing: Apply a thick, hypoallergenic moisturizer immediately after bathing to lock in moisture. Sun Protection: Use broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF of at least 30, and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Avoid Irritants: Steer clear of harsh chemicals, perfumes, and dyes in skincare products and laundry detergents.
