You will have to check with your oncologist. I asked mine about some procedures. She wouldn't let me do anything invasive while I'm on treatment.

It would be best to avoid microneedling or similar facial treatments like spicules while undergoing myeloma treatment. These procedures can potentially damage sensitive skin and increase infection risk, even when using natural products.

People with myeloma need to be extra careful with their skin and avoid treatments that could cause micro-injuries or irritation. Your skin may be more sensitive and vulnerable to complications due to your condition and treatments. Before trying any new skin treatments, even natural ones, always check with your oncologist first. They may want to refer you to a dermatologist who can recommend safer skincare alternatives that won't put your health at risk. Focus instead on gentle skin care using mild, fragrance-free products and good sun protection.
