My mom has a open wound on her neck just below her chin. This is where a biopsy was taken months ago. This round open wound is getting bigger by the day latly. Its now about the size of a penny. We dont know if this is happening from her skin being so thin from radiation or is it just the cancer causing her skin to just tear. Its really painful and very unpleasent for my mother.

My question is`. The doctor precribed a Chemo Cream to rub all over the area around the hole. Mom used it for the first time and it cause alot of pain.

Is anyone farmilure with a Chemo Cream ?

Thanks
Heidi
