Itchy skin can be due to allergies, dry skin, or other medication outside of cancer treatment. If you experience moderate to severe itching, it’s best to tell members of your health care team so they can help you choose the best treatment for you.

While over-the-counter medications and creams may resolve itching, prescription medications may be the only relief. Our medical team recommends moisturizing daily, protecting yourself from the sun, and choosing gentle, hypoallergenic products that won’t further irritate your skin.
