Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Have had neuropathy from chemo for 3 years now. The feeling has returned to feet except the ball and toes interchange numbness.. My hands have almost full feeling returned however dermatitis with splitting of skin has not cleared up.. The itching is deep, like the nerves are healing, all on the palms to the fingers. steroids do not help.. Hands dry out within 1/2 hour after cream application.. I have tried most all the OC creams.. Two Dermatalogists have said there is no cure. Recently a bright red rash has developed on the back of hands and is spreading up the arm.. Is this an immune system problem?
Neuropathy with B12 deficiency is responsible for numbness in toes. Skin issue is partly immune-mediated. Local application of coconut water, turmeric paste and aloe vera paste helps. Systemic correction of trace elements deficiency with antioxidants will improve the condition over the period of time.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Purva Patel
