Blisters in cancer patients can form due to several reasons:
1. Chemotherapy: Certain chemotherapeutic agents can cause skin reactions, including blisters. This condition is known as chemotherapy-induced blisters. 2. Radiation Therapy: Exposure to radiation can damage the skin, leading to the formation of blisters. This is known as radiation dermatitis. 3. Cancer Itself: Some types of cancer, such as skin cancer or blood cancers like leukemia, can directly cause blisters due to the abnormal growth of cells and tissue damage. 4. Infections: Cancer patients are often immunocompromised, making them more susceptible to infections that can cause blisters.
