The photo shown here are the side effects i had on my skin during my chemo days... I think i had like most of it except flaky skin..
WHAT ABOUT YOU? DO YOU TOO?
What changes can you expect on your skin after chemo and radiation?
Some of you may find that your skin is more likely to burn in the sun or react to chemicals. So be careful when you are in the sun, and wear at least factor 15 sun protection. Not all chemotherapy drugs cause skin changes, but it is important to be aware that skin may be more sensitive or easily irritated during treatment.
General skin reactions that can occur with chemotherapy include:
1. Redness
2. Rashes
3. Itching
4. Dryness/ Flaky Skin
5. Acne
6. Nail Discolouration
7. Hyperpigmentation - darkening of the skin
Back then i stopped on all perfumed products, using only baby shampoo and body wash (Johnson & Johnson), showered only on cold water (hot water may cause dry skin too), no make ups except my eyebrow pencil (i dont use mascara too cos i lost all my lashes! XD), no popping of pimples, no medication on the acnes/ pimples outbreak... Basically, i went all natural on all products i used...
And i started to take alot of fruits.. Its a lil exaggerating but yeah, i had like 80 fruits in my first month (after my operation). My fruits diet consists of fresh coconut juice, sweet oranges (no sour please!), kiwis, banana, papaya, apples, and more.... Well, they are all high in VITAMIN C; Vitamin C is also a super antioxidant. It is needed for a strong immune system, radiant skin and helps blemishes heal properly.
Fruits are also very important to prevent constipation and this difficulty in emptying the bowels are common among cancer patients who undergo chemo and radiation.
*IMPORTANT*
Fruits should be taken 1 hour before a meal, or 2 hours after your meal. When fruits are eaten alone, your stomach can more easily process all of the nutrients, fibre and the simple sugars contained in the fruit. This is the optimal 'proper way' to benefit from the fruit you eat. If you eat fruit close to a meal, you might experience indigestion, heartburn, burping and and other digestive discomforts.
Sharing how my skin benefit from fruits might be helpful to all of you out there.
