How Do Cancer Treatments Affect the Skin?

Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and immunotherapy can cause a range of skin issues. Chemotherapy can result in hair loss, hyperpigmentation, and photosensitivity. Radiation therapy often leads to radiation dermatitis, characterized by redness, peeling, and sometimes ulceration of the skin. Immunotherapy can cause immune-mediated skin reactions, including rashes and vitiligo.
