Dry, ashy, and peeling skin can be a common issue for individuals undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma, particularly those receiving radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Here are some tips to manage this condition:

1. **Moisturizing**: Regular use of moisturizers can help. Choose products free from fragrances to avoid irritation. Apply moisturizer twice daily, ideally after bathing to lock in moisture.

2. **Hydration**: Drinking sufficient water helps in skin regeneration and removing toxins which can reduce dryness and irritation.

3. **Consultation**: Always check with your healthcare team before starting any new treatment or medication for skin care.

4. **Special Ointments and Baths**: Using colloidal oatmeal baths and specific ointments can provide relief.

5. **Care for Wounds**: If peeling skin leads to open wounds, keep these areas clean and dry, and use dressing materials as recommended by healthcare professionals to prevent infection.

Remember, it's important to consult with your healthcare team for tailored advice and to ensure any new treatments are safe for your condition.
