Suggest Remedy For Itchy Skin Rashes In Patients Post Radiation Treatments
I developed an itching type rash, seemed like mosquito bites (only on my right arm). If I don t break open from scratching, they appear very bumpy, white and scaley. Symptoms started approx. 1 week ago. I recently had a full hysterectomy (Stage 1 Cancer) and finished 25 radiation treatments. Not sure it there s any relation to my recent symptoms. Should I just apply anti-itch cream?

Hi,
It may be an allergic reaction. As the first line of management, you can apply low potency steroids and can take antihistamines like Pheniramine for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist, better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
