My Hubby

Morning everyone, My husband has had his second Chemo on the 29th, his hands have like tiny paper cut marks on them, palm side, he does usually get those winter time,  was wondering if anyone else has had these, thanks & take care ..

  • Hello cas27,

    I hope you'll hear from someone else here who has experienced these tiny paper cut type marks on their palms after chemotherapy. Chemotherapy can certainly have an effect on your skin and you can find out  more about this here. It seems that it isn't unusual for chemotherapy to affect the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet so I would suggest you make an appointment with your GP and show him/her these little marks. They might be able to prescribe something for these and hopefully there is a cream that helps if they are too uncomfortable.

    Some of our members may have tips for you too based on what worked for them!

    Best wishes,
