Hi all,
I have introduced myself earlier, but have a chemo question.(Introduce Yourself Re:I've waited too long)

My husband has horrible skin cracking on his fingers, toes and heels from the weekly Erbitux. I've asked every healthcare professional we've run into what we can do, tried most of what they've suggested, to no avail. Maybe someone here knows of something we haven't tried.
You can quite literally sit and watch his hands and at an given moment the skin will crack and he will bleed.

We've tried lotions, wraps, band-aids galore. Antibiotic creams, and creams that say the help the 'working mans hands' and more.
Nothing ever seems to help. Is this one of the side effect we just have to live with?
