Has anyone experienced itchy hands after chemo? I'm almost 2 weeks out from my final tx and my hands and fingers will not stop itching. It's driving me crazy!

Everything's dry and a little itchy, but not specifically my hands. I didn't know feet peeling was a thing! Mine are peeling and dry like crazy. Chemo is weird.

I saw one of my oncologists today and she said it may be a variant of neuropathy. We will keep an eye on it.

Chemo kills off your skin cells like everything else. My scalp is so itchy after I shaved it. It is worse when I wear tight fitting caps or wigs.

could be hives... I have an itchy back for years.. looked it up and it said could be from stress and dry skin. hope that's all it is. I went to a nerve doctor and he wanted another mri so I didn't follow up.. I glow in the dark as it is.
