Chemotherapy can wreak havoc on the skin. Chemotherapy kills off cancer cells but often it hits healthy cells, too, especially those of the skin, which can cause discoloration, irritation, burning, acne, skin rashes and dryness. During The Breast of Everything podcast, Danielle DeLuca-Pytell, MD, plastic surgeon, talks with Linsey Gold, DO, breast surgeon with Comprehensive Breast Care, about what cancer patients can do to protect their skin from the side effects of chemotherapy and rebuild the skin barriers broken down as a result of treatments. Dr. DeLuca-Pytell recommends CPMS: cleanse, protect, moisturize and soothe. A patient’s skin regimen should start about a week before treatment begins and continue during and after chemotherapy.
