I’ve used baby body wash. I also have a lotion prescribed by my dermatologist. It helped in the past. But no longer. I receive IVIG and Darzalex Fastpro every month. Zometa every three months. I was wondering if any of my shipmates are also experiencing this problem. Any advice for me? Thank you in advance. Enjoy your weekend. God bless you and keep you safe.

All of the things mentioned previously are good. I had issues beyond the dry skin patches with zometa. It caused me to have a stroke around month 15. I had to switch to valkade. So keep an eye on clotts and blockage. For the dry skin I switced over to applying Pure Aloe Vera Gel and Vitamin E Oil missed together. It worked amazingly well for me. FYI I am African American. I don't know if that makes a difference. I am presently going through a new round of treatmnts and chemo. My original cancer ate away my L4 vertebrae. they were able to set a rack & pinion rod to support My L3-L5. It worked well with some flexabillity limits Thank God I'm walking and moving. It has now moved into my #5 & #10 ribs. They have both broken already. I presently hoping to qualify for a Car T Cell Transplant. Praying things continue to go well. I will go to the VA Facility in Nashville and start the proedure there. It should take approximately 2-3 months. I'm excited. There seems to e a lot of success in this feild. My Prayers to you and hope you have a successful run in it .Be Blessed my friend and I hope this helps you..🙂😄

I wash with dove moisture. My skin moisturizer is Eucerin. It has healed up many spots on my body. It was recommended by my pcp. I’ve talked to people who this has helped.

No but after my tandem sct, I've had to switch to dove for sensitive skin. No other issue

I think I’ve mentioned this before, but here goes. Avene is a French brand of skincare that has a line of products for cancer skin. I personally love their Cicalfate cream. It’s a bit pricey, but it kept me from losing my mind with itchy dry skin! I too, am on Darzalex and IVIg monthly. I can also use their tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. Sunscreen usually drives me crazy, but theirs is really nice.
